Cheerio.
Just wondering if you’re in the Edinburgh area and fancy being creative, getting your hands dirty and eating delicious cake? If so, then read on…
I still have a few places left on my “Espresso Mug Workshop” at Morningside Makers Market on 6th August. To book your place, click here
Not only will you be able to keep and use all the items you make, your creative efforts will be rewarded with taste explosive cake provided by The Tea Jenny. Her treats do not pass my lips without yummy noises.
If that doesn’t entice you, I don’t know what will…
Go on, book it!
When i sell my pots i often wonder what hands, cupboards and sinks they end up living in?! I can’t believe some of my pots are as far away as Japan, Uganda, Australia and Italy to name a few countries, but it’s great to see pictures of them being used and loved.
If you have any pictures of my work you’d like to share, or even if you just want to tell me what corner of the earth my hand made goodness has made it to, please do let me know. That would be nice.
If you don’t own any yet and want to start your own collection, why not start tomorrow? I’ll be at Morningside Makers Market with an array of pots and knitted items and also a gorgeous furry dog called Albert, although he is not for sale…
Cheerio.
Hello.
You might not realize how much repetition is involved when you are a potter so I thought you might like to see some pictures i took while I was at work last week. Sometimes mid production I begin to feel like a robot, but I make everything in small batches so at the least I get a variety of repetition!
***Be warned!!!*** There is a lot of grey in the following pictures. I’m so glad I have lots of colourful glazes to make them pretty!
Hello there!
On my way home a couple of weeks ago I stopped in Glasgow and left some more pots into Sunshine No.1, It is such a fabulous shop. Suzi has got a brilliant range of handmade goods sourced from all over Scotland. I continued my journey with a rucksack, a wheeley case and a bag, all full of pots, and Albert, and headed for the boat. Quite a challenge, especially when i got to the escalator. Albert froze! but thankfully a lovely man came along and offered to carry my bag! How nice.
When I got home, mum picked me up and we headed straight to Seasons. They are now fully restocked too! I still had a few more deliveries to do after that, but we did manage to squeeze in a cup of tea and a scone too. Yum!
Since returning home again I’ve been making more Bike mugs for Honest Thistle and Bee Mugs for Manchester Bee Company. They will be on their way to the shop shelves soon! I’ve also made some pots for me! My store was beginning to look a little empty so I’ve been throwing like a machine and now I’m running out of space again!
This weekend I am doing 2 markets –
Market: Blairgowrie Community Market
Date: Saturday 25/6/16
Time: 10am – 3pm
Location: Blairgowire
Market: Little Birds Market
Date: Sunday 26/6/16
Time: 12 noon – 4pm
Location: Glasgow
If you are local to either or just passing through, make sure pay a visit. Both markets are great, The Community Market has lots of fresh local produce including plants, fish and baked goods (oh, and pottery!). Little Birds Market is in the Britannia Panopticon in Glasgow. Apparently its the worlds oldest surviving music hall. I can’t wait to see it!
Have a nice weekend whatever you get up to.
Cheerio!
ps, I took lots of pictures while i was out and about and in the workshop this week, I’ll let you see them next week.
pps, sooo many things to tell you… I got a Paypal chip and pin reader, so if ever you find yourself without cash and want to buy some pots at the market I am now prepared!
Oi! Edinburgh and Glasgow! Tea with Jud is coming to town… Lucky you!
This week I will be delivering some pots to a Pop Up Shop in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. The shop will be open from 9am on 1st June until the end of August 2016. I’m so excited to take part in this. It’s an opportunity to showcase small independent business’s, like mine, with so many other talented designers; Tylers Attic, Upcycle Scotland, Emma Neale Handmade, Silver Sky Creations, Doris Does Doodles.
On Saturday 4th June I will be returning to Morningside Makers Market in Edinburgh with my usual selection of pottery and knitting. It is such a good market. I love it. The Tea Jenny will also be there with her vintage pop up Tea Room and a delicious selection of delights. I’m already deciding what to have! Mmmmmmmmmmm…
And last but not least, Glasgow, I will be at Urban Market on Sunday 5th June. Albert is coming too, so make sure you come and say hi!
It’s another busy week for Tea wtih Jud, so after all that I will be taking a few days off. Any orders will have to wait! I will be back to work on Monday 13th June, so until then… enjoy the rest of your bank holiday, hopefully in the sunshine!
Cheerio!
PS – there are still places available for my Espresso Mug Workshop in August, you can book your place here.
Hello there!
I made some signs for Tea with Jud so that you will be able to find me! My neighbour asked if my signs could get any smaller?! ha ha! I think they are grand, but if you are looking for them, I recommend driving slow. Although, the giant strawberry will be a good landmark in the summer time!
I made the signs in preparation for taking part in Perthshire Open Studios this September, I’m really excited about it. I’ll remind you about it nearer the time.
Now my signs are up and I’m visible to the world I’m going to have to make sure I look my best at all times, just in case the future Mr.Tea with Jud (aka Harry Styles) passes by! I’ll keep my signs up all year round and even if you’re not Harry, you can still come and visit my workshop. If you are coming a long way, please contact me first to make sure that I’ll be in. I will always welcome visitors and am happy to show you around and make you a cup of tea.
ciao for now!

Hello!
I taught my Espresso Mug workshop in Edinburgh at the start of April. I really enjoyed it and I’m so pleased with how all the pieces turned out. I love how you can give 8 people the same brief but have 8 totally different results.Thankfully there were no disasters in the kiln and everyone’s work survived! It has now been delivered back to the new owners/makers. Phew!
The workshop generated a lot of interest, and I had really good feedback from all the participants so I have decided to teach another one! My next Espresso Mug workshop will be:
Time: 11.30 – 3pm
Date: Saturday 6th August 2016
Location: Morningside Makers Market
There are only eight places available so book now to avoid disappointment! There is a 10% discount for everyone who books before midnight on Wednesday 18th May!
