Hogwheels with a berry or two

Small, tall and long oval vases.

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

Very jolly colour to brighten breakfast or teatime

More flashes of yellow!

A great commission, a large service for 8 in black on natural off-white.

Omega Flowers

Based on the Omega Workshop flowers and the Bloomsbury group's still life paintings, this is a range of more colourful vases and plates.

Side Plates

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

Having a play in the studio, you never know what wil happen.

Tea and cake?

Large teacup (holds 3/4 pint) and an oval plate for flapjack, brownie, battenburg...

Hand-cast earthenware with hand-painted decoration, linocuts and screen-printed textiles and bone china.

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 Mel Day, wireworker extraordinaire, glass artist, Phaedra Politis, painter Anny Colgan, feltmaker Gladys Paulus and ceramic artist Hans Borgenjon.

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.

Mix and Match patterns on wee coffee cups. I love mixing the colours on the inside of the cups, grey and lime look great together.

Colourway made for a lovely shop in Dulwich, Jane Newbery. Grey and a clean green with sprigs and seedhead. I have since added lime and yellow pieces to give a hint of spring.

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

Sunshine! A bit of 1950s influence here.

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.

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.
