Creations.

Everything is handmade by Dawn in Devon. All items are unique and determined by the interaction with the clay, kiln and glaze. Dawn likes to work with porcelain and earthenware using hand building techniques and occasional wheel; using underglaze colours, hand painted on to the dry clay, which is then bisque fired in the kiln. Finished with a transparent glaze and a final firing.

Please get in touch if you would be interested in a commissioned piece.
