About my ceramics

Collapsible content

My ceramics are hand thrown on the wheel here in my studio on the outskirts of Edinburgh. We have three potters throwing in the studio. The pots are then left to dry before being trimmed and then fired in the kiln.

After the first ‘bisque’ firing the piece is then sanded down, glazed, cleaned up and fired for a second time in a ‘glaze’ firing. All glazing is done by hand by either myself or my studio assistant and each piece is checked over carefully. The kiln is fired up to a toasty max temperature of 1250degrees centigrade.

Once cooled around 24 hours later, the pots are then sanded once more, cleaned and packaged and sent off to their new homes. The whole process is slow and is why handmade ceramics are very special. Find out more about me and the process behind crafting handmade ceramics.

We strive to represent our products as accurately as possible, but variations are to be expected due to the nature of handmade ceramics and pottery.

Yes! Although if your pot has gold on it then we recommend hand washing only with a non abrasive sponge and soap. And don’t pop it in the microwave either. 

Yes! Our handmade ceramics are perfect for everyday food use.

Yes - our ceramics can go in the oven but not if they have gold on them. 

Yes, we are.

Ceramics has very little waste and we source materials from the Uk where possible.

All packaging is plastic free or reused. Our studio is powered by a 100% renewable energy tariff and heated by the kiln that produces our stoneware. It is an ongoing process that we have been embracing in order to make a long-term change. Find out more about our sustainability mission.

We have a studio at Rosemains Steading which is a CIC on the outskirts of Pathhead in Midlothian.

It is 20 mins from Edinburgh city centre and based on a working farm so you get the best of both worlds- close to both city life and beautiful Scottish countryside. 

Rosemains Steading is a CIC supporting the other businesses that run out of it. Ella is a director of the CIC and is closely involved in helping support the businesses and run local makers markets and other events. Contact us to find out more.
