This collection of ceramics is an experimentation with a grey groggy clay, and a velvet pebble glaze. It remains me of the old ‘velveteen rabbit’ story written by Margery Williams Bianco (1922). A much loved velvet rabbit toy was loved by its child so much that it became ‘real’. The moral of the storey is that we become truly real through the process of vulnerability and connection.

Anyway, enough of the deep philosophical meaning - this is a time for Tea, a time for connection and catching up. A little bit of a random and handcrafted finish to the handles, shape, and finish, but just enough to be real with each other and share life as it is.
