I’ve always been into ‘Paper’ and ‘Stationery’ so when it comes to actual product design I always have reservations when it’s not paper!! I’ve been selling my enamel mugs for 2 years now, so when Chad from walked into one of my Christmas markets with a delivery and some new ceramic coaster samples I was a little sceptical at first. I put the 4 samples of my stand by the end of the day 3 had sold - maybe I needed to think about these coasters??Fast forward to March and I’ve had 6 of my designs printed on beautiful round ceramic coasters - what do you think?The 6 designs are Beehive, Red Squirrel, Lobster, Swallows, Puffin and Kingfisher; these will be heading to Northwood House Spring Art & Garden Fair on 3rd & 4th April.Thank you the quality and printing is amazing!

A new print is drying ready for my next event at Northwood House Spring Art & Garden Fair.It’s printed in sage green and dark grey inks, inspired by birds in my garden.The Spring Fair is on 3rd - 4th April 2026 - I shall be exhibiting in the house! My designs are hand carved into Lino and hand printed using an old mangle, each is unique and may have small imperfections - this is all part of a handprinted charm!
