blue butterfly crafts
I have been keen on arts and crafts since childhood, and also made mud pies in
my Gran's garden! II started ceramics in 2001 and I became passionate about the
craft! Since 2017, I've been working in my workshop next to my house where I
also run classes. I find that when I work with clay, time stops and I forget all
my worries. I love the versatility of clay; the potential to produce pieces
which are both beautiful and functional. I use hand-building techniques to make
vases and dishes as well as sculptures, wall art, and jewellery etc. I am
inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Plants, animals and landscapes
regularly appear in my work. I often use leaves to impress patterns into the
clay - many from my garden. In my steampunk range, I use computer components,
screws, lace etc. Everything has the potential for an interesting texture!
