Spoons under yellow clouds. These and others will be on my online shop update starting Thursday from 7pm.
I use an old cutoff scaffolding board to photograph lots of my pieces on. It came with random yellow paint in it which works really nicely with my (mostly) monochrome ceramics as well as these more colourful porcelain spoons

Photographing pieces in my kitchen has the added benefit of having some props close at hand. And who doesn’t want to have a special pot just for pistachios? This little speckled brown pot will be going in my online shop and available from Thursday evening. Pistachios not included.

This piece is a very subtle green, though the colour seems hard to capture on my camera. The porcelain has been stained with copper oxide before throwing to give it a soft misty green tone throughout and left unglazed. It’s then been topped with a carved beech twig and tiny acorn.

I’ll be sending out a newsletter on Monday with details about my upcoming online shop update, including this piece. Subscribe via my website now for info and discounts.

I’m getting images and info together for an online shop update (hopefully soon). Taking the photos is the best bit, even when there’s limited daylight and I’m using the microwave to prop up the background.
This piece has a distinctive little curl in the wisteria ‘handle’ and some waxed linen thread that I wanted to highlight.

Sunshine through porcelain. When it works it works.
This one just out of the kiln and on its way to Made London @tuttonandyoung #porcelain #ceramics #elainesheppardbolt #sunshine #translucent

As nice as it is indoors, staying cozy by the kiln. Sometimes you have to go outside. And sometimes it’s good to take a walk in the rain, with your bestie, and her dog. That’s what I did today even though I’m busy getting things ready for the big show in the big smoke. If you fancy getting out and about you can come and see me at One Marylebone in London for Made - a brilliant craft show with amazing makers all brought together in one place for your delight. If you buy tickets online it’s cheaper and if you ask me I can send you a two-for-one code. Or, find more info from organisers @tuttonandyoung

See you there

Today is a day for sorting things out. Gathering things up and seeing where we are. I have pieces I’d like to take to London and pieces that won’t fit with the group. I have pieces still in the kiln and waiting to be glazed before a last minute firing. I really want those pieces to be ready in time; to make it into my car in just over a week’s time and end up on my table for Made London. I also have admin to do - pricing up (because every one is different) printing off info and mailing list sign up sheets, printing a sign that says “please feel free to pick them up” and working out car and train logistics. I also need to do the things I’ve forgotten to do, when I remember what they are. But if you’d like to see what actually makes it to the show on time, get yourself a ticket or two for Made London from @tuttonandyoung and use my discount code ADEB241 to get yourself two for one!
See you there! 23 PV & 24–26 October One Marylebone
