Truly hand-painted
Pencil outline, coloured glazes, kiln fire — not mass-produced transfers. Every mug, jug and dish is one of a kind.
Our story
The story behind the ceramics
01 How it started
Painted by hand, not transferred
Most ceramics you can buy elsewhere use transfers — mass-produced designs simply applied and fired. Hannah’s work starts with a pencil outline on each blank piece, then is painted by hand with coloured glazes, sometimes in several stages, before its final firing in her kiln.
That produces bright, shiny, permanent colours — and both the designs and each individual piece are unique. No two are ever exactly the same.
— Hannah
02 Where & how it’s made
From blank to gift box, in Suffolk
Blanks are sourced from English makers; Hannah outlines, paints, glazes and kiln-fires every piece in her home studio, then packs each order by hand.
- Outline. A pencil sketch goes onto each blank ceramic piece.
- Paint. Coloured glazes are brushed on by hand, often in several stages.
- Fire. A final kiln firing locks in bright, permanent colour.
- Pack. Bubble wrap, tissue, a brown cardboard box, coloured string and a personally designed gift tag.
03 What makes it special
Three things that matter here
Suffolk on every piece
Beach huts, fishing boats from Aldeburgh, and wild flowers from the fields — motifs drawn from the landscape around the studio.
Ready to gift
Each order arrives in a brown cardboard box tied with coloured string and a personally designed gift tag you can write on — or Hannah can add a message for you.
