Everything in my shop is handmade by myself, and each piece is a one-off and listed individually, once it has sold it's gone!

I am very happy to take commissions, ideas and requests - please contact me.

My Etsy Shops history:
It all started with a pottery cat. I stroked its shape from a hollow ball of clay, so lovely, so relaxing! So I made more, and more, and eventually thought I might try selling them. ThePotteryCat Etsy shop was born.

I am a mum of two, living in Oxfordshire. My studio is a corner of the garden shed. I run the shop around busy family life so if ThePotteryCat goes to sleep (Etsy vacation mode) for a while, don't worry, it will wake up again soon!

I have been making ceramics, off and on, since I was a child. Most recently I have been attending classes at Alison Jones' lovely studio 'The Cobb Studio', East Hendred, Oxon. Alison also, kindly, fires any larger items for me since my kiln is tiny! My preferred technique is handbuilding, and I love shaping animals and birds from clay.

I have recently been introduced to the amazing silver clay (PMC), which is a wonderful medium to work with since it handles like clay but fires to pure silver. Look out for more silver jewellery coming to ThePotteryCat Shop soon!
