Pottery with blue / green leaf design handmade in her workshop in the Gloucestershire village of Frocester.
She sells at the Stroud Farmers Market on the last Saturday of the month
Claire's individual style reflects the shapes and forms of the countryside, much of her inspiration coming from her garden and the rolling hills and valleys of the Cotswold Edge. The designs are created using Lupin or Cow parsley leaves, often overlaying them to give an almost 3d effect. Each beautiful bowl or jug is a unique work of art and craftsmanship. Claire's work was featured in a 4 page spread in Country Living Magazine in July 2010.
Each piece is fired to a high temperature, particularly at the glazing stage, when the kiln is slowly taken up to 1140°c ensuring that the pots are safe to use in both oven and dishwasher.
