Hello!
Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day! 💕 To celebrate the day, and my first glaze firing in my new (to me) kiln, here are some of my most recent ceramics.
Everything I make is for
sale, get in
touch if you are interested, I'd love to hear from you!
Whatever you do this week in the Gironde and Dordogne regions, have a good week. There are so many films to see. Please take care to check the times with the cinema before you head out, apologies if I have made any mistakes.
Best wishes,
Helen
