I'll be heading to these Christmas Markets with a fresh batch of goodies! There'll be monkeys, wiggly pots and some brand-new ceramic fortunes. There are a bunch of great artists and makers at both of these markets - so if you're around come and swing by and support local āœŒļø

There's a bunch of new faces since I last posted so I thought i'd say hi šŸ‘‹ šŸ‘‹ I'm Sam, I like to find ways to celebrate playfulness and feed that into the ceramics and illustrations I create, and if you couldn't tell I love a monkey!

I'm teaching the throwing classes there at the moment too so if you'd like a familiar face while you learn, book on to the class and we can have fun throwing some shapes šŸ¤™

Second try at the Monkey money boxes - I spent so long in between that now I need to make them for 3 little ones. Hopefully these ones work out! šŸ¤ž

Feels good to be back in the saddle. I've been working away at a commission of a set of cereal and pasta bowls which pushed me to throw with the biggest amount of clay I've used yet - so that was pretty cool. Here's some bottoms of those anyway.
