Lady Sybil and the White Doe has now been fired and I had my first afternoon back in the studio since lockdown. The pot is inspired by a Lancashire Folktale tells the tale of Lady Sybil, who transforms herself on a moonlit night into a fleet, milk-white doe.

Thank you to everyone who ordered from my webshop and thank you for sharing the photos for the cups in their new homes. A big thank you also for your patience if your still waiting for your orders, I have spoken to staff at the post office and they said that some distribution centres have a mountain of stuff waiting because of staff shortages and increase in online ordering, and that things could take up to a month in some areas or arrive the next day. Many thanks again for your understand in these pandemic times.

A Woman's Place
20 January – 31 December 2018
Abbey House Museum
On the centenary of some women getting the vote, A Woman’s Place? looks at the struggles and progress of women in achieving equality and recognition.
The exhibition features stories and objects from strong pioneering women such as Leonora Cohen and Nicola Adams, from 1860 to the present day. Discover how everyday life has changed for women in the home, school and workplace.
We hope to inspire women and girls to believe that their ambitions and achievements are not limited by their gender.
