Trying out a bit of orange. Nice and cheerful, also on mugs and bowls - bring a smile to your Shreddies.

Small, tall and long oval vases.

Not just pottery, sneak peek at the print studio...

Winter greens and greys. Nice to mix it all up too.

More flashes of yellow!

Spring Vases, one of my bestselling shapes.

Adding to the range - side plates and dinner plates. Teazle, Omega Flowers and Hogweed.

Tea and cake?

Some people will only drink their tea from bone china - so here we are.

Currently there are five designs on these generous-sized bone china mugs. Two sorts of Hogweed, Teazle, Mare's Tail and Omega, (abstracted floral). Available from OWL and Babington House shop in Frome, The Geffrye Museum in London, Goldfishbowl Gallery in Corsham, The Cottage Gallery in Wedmore... oh, and mail order!

Even the bases have hogweed on them!

Steven and Hogweed Pottery now work from a studio and a shop in the artisan quarter of Frome, Catherine Hill. He shares the shop with a jeweller, Dee Odell-Foster and Mel Day, wireworker extraordinaire.

The shops on the hill are all run by independent retailers and is well worth a browse for anyone interested in vintage, fashion and crafts. The first Sunday of the month from May to September (and December) there is an artisan market from 10am 'til 2.00pm. look at www.wegotfleas.com

Lots of berries and seed heads in red, lime green and lavender with strong black detail. Selection at Walford Mill Crafts in Wimborne, Dorset.

Being featured in Country Living (October 2010) was great and I managed to stick to the same patterns and colours for a while.

Vases in fresh green with crisp black detail and Nightweed; a speckled grey-green and black design.

This was a special piece - very challenging to make but was a triumph when finished, largely thanks to the finishing touch a lovely handmade bread board made by local woodworker Peter Hinchcliffe.

Sunshine! A bit of 1950s influence here.

Selection of new pea green and grey available across the range.

Box of lavender, turquoise and green mugs and coffee cups off to Harpermack.com.

Pieces made for the Lighthouse Gallery in Penzance.

Hot off the press a lino cut to match the pottery (see it's partner on the Prints page)

Teazles have been creeping into the designs for about a year or so and now I am painting them on footed bowls and on vases with a flat light grey background, nice mixed in with Hogweed on mugs too.

Selection of straight-sided mugs in Hogweed and Lime.

Please remove this Jon! I want the title to read like the body only

Porridge or Pasta?

7 inch wide bowl - flat clolour with a large seed head motif. Looks good in grey or yellow too.

One-off design, a cone-shaped fruit bowl. I do have more than one apple.

I am happy to undertake orders for special birthdays or anniversaries, lettering no problem. This was adapted from a sample range for a 21st birthday present.
