The slow, quietly intense creative days of winter have arrived.

To offer a little window into the rhythm of my studio:

I begin planning and making for Christmas in mid-August, and in the last week of December I delivered my final large order for 2025. December was full—busy, rich, and satisfying.

From March through the end of May, my focus shifts to producing work for seasonal tourist shops—filling shelves, setting displays, and getting everything ready for summer. That makes January and February an interesting in-between season. The deadlines are gone, my energy is softer, and ideas have space to surface. Creativity whispers and I get to play.

One idea I’m exploring is glaze-to-order. This would allow me to keep my core collection of forms ready, while choosing glaze colours after an order is placed. (A genuine lightbulb moment.) The turnaround would be just 4–5 days—minimal for you, and a big win for simplifying production, planning, and storage behind the scenes.

There will still be just as much work available for immediate purchase in the studio—this is simply a shift in how things happen on the back end, and I wanted to share the process with you.

If you have an idea for a piece you’d love to see brought to life, I’m always open to custom work. Bring me the concept and I’ll design and make it in my own way. I don’t copy others’ work, but I truly love collaborating to create something new.
