Have you heard of the fabulous new campaign on the block? Buy Better, Buy Less, Buy Handmade

Some of the most influential industry experts The Craft Council, Heritage Crafts, Folksy, Great Northen Contemporary, Craft Festival and Find a Maker have collaborated to create a movement that encourages people to make conscious shopping decisions, and choose to buy from local and handmade businesses just like mine.

What a great campaign, I’m in! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Read all about it on the Folksy Blog

Super Seconds Festival is tomorrow!

If you haven't heard of Super Seconds Festival you are in for a treat! This is my third SSF event and they are so much fun as a seller and buyer. Super Seconds Festival was created during lockdown by Sophie Greenwood from Ink & Bear. When all of the craft markets weren't able to run she created this opportunity for makers to continue to sell their wares online.

Super Seconds Festival is a wonderful weekend long online market jammed packed full of bargains. There are 250 small independent businesses taking part offering their makes at highly discounted prices! Get ready to grab a bargain at 10am this Saturday 1st October. 

I'm so exctied to be one of those 250 small businesses taking part. I’ll have lots of lovely Utterly Pottery goodies available including seconds, sample pieces and older lines available at bargain prices throughout the weekend. Each and every item is perfectly functional and useable but can’t be sold as ‘perfect’. Super Seconds Festival gives me the opportunity to find new homes for pieces just like this.You can find my special sale section in my online Folksy Shop here

Guess who is the current Folksy featured maker? Every fortnight the wonderful folks at Folksy choose a maker to feature and right now, that's me. My interview questions were set by Carol at Pooks Studio, who handed the baton over as her reign ended.

To celebrate I’m offering a 15% discount in my Folksy shop until 31st July 2022 ? Discover the all important discount code by reading my full interview here. If you'd like to read previously interviews too they are readily available over on the Folksy Blog

For all of the eager beavers out there I may have added some early Christmas treats. So why or make use of the cheeky discount and get super organised this year! Shop here
