Individual handmade ceramic black shucks! You can adopt and own your own little East Anglian demon dog, individually made by me! 🤘🏻

These are in celebration of the annual Black Shuck Festival and ONLY available at The Burrow ✨

48 St Mary’s St, Bungay, NR35 1AX

31st July - 2nd August

I’m already working on a restock for after the festival but for now numbers are limited so grab one if you want one!

Quite a few shucks have already found their homes 🥲

I’ve also got more black shuck and gothic related ceramic goodies at The Burrow - trinket dishes, mugs, bowls, keyrings and wax burners.

I nerded out seeing how the copper oxide reacted differently here - over the unglazed surface on the outside versus over the transparent glaze inside the monster’s pink mouth … resulting in the copper oxide giving both an almost volcanic-like charcoal on the outside and a diffusing dark mossy green on the inside.

MUGS!

I’ve popped a couple on the shop now.

Hand built by my hands for your drinking pleasure.

A collection of drawings spanning yeeeeeears that I’ve really quite liked but never done anything with… well, until now!

made the icon spooky for the season!

Ingrid’s Mug

After making my first mug, rather selfishly for me, I wanted to make one for my best human, @jesuschristingrid!

I knew I wanted to use the grid idea to create contrast between the sgraffito designs and the designs painted on in slip - some images made from adding clay, and some from taking it away. Plus it was so fun to work out the images that I felt best represented Ingrid.

I really love this mug. I love the wibbly pinched walls and the wobbly painted grid.

I have some other finished bits to post soon and I have more work in the pipeline, plus my first ceramics commission! My good friend has set me the task of making some very cool things for her. They’re currently a work in progress.

The First!

Beginning my journey into ceramics I made this little mug. I incorporated illustrations using sgraffito technique to draw into the slip painted onto the form.

This mug taught me about kiln shrinkage … resulting in the final thing being a tad small. Whoops.
