UNDER THE WILLOW POTTERY

The Story...

Hi! Welcome to my world! Im Sophie, a small batch, hobby potter.

Before becoming unwell, I had never touched clay as an adult. I was recovering and regaining strength after a long stint in hospital when I first found pottery. After stumbling across a local potter on social media advertising kiln firing services, I bought a bag of clay and never looked back. I am completely self taught and look at every moment with clay as a lesson. The slow process allows me to be mindful and rest when i need, so it's the perfect hobby for me.

All of my work is inspired by the nature in my surroundings and the whimsy of fairytales. I love the homely, rustic look of bare clay, so I often incorporate unglazed areas into my pieces.

I very rarely create the same thing more than once. I find so much joy in experimenting and trying new techniques. There really is no end to the possibilities.

​​

I enjoy making tiny animal vases, jewellery, seasonal ornaments, along with some more functional tableware, but never your bog standard mug! I love creating, but there's only so much pottery one girl needs, so I usually have a shop update when i have a few pieces finished unclaimed by friends and family.
