The final touch - Still Pools⁠ ⁠ When we re-op The final touch - Still Pools⁠ ⁠ When we re-open our doors to visitors on the 12th April, there will be a selection of new colours in our Still Pools.⁠ ⁠ Stephen has spent a week making these quiet forms and it's good to have them back in the studio.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ link in Bio for more pics
The Cowslip Bowl⁠ ⁠ Flowering around Easter th The Cowslip Bowl⁠ ⁠ Flowering around Easter the cowslip is one of the best known spring wildflowers.⁠ ⁠ In Rosedale Abbey, they grow between the stones of our driveway, a nodding cluster of delicate cup shaped flowers sitting atop tall stalks, the leaves an array of delicate greens.⁠ ⁠ A nostalgic symbol of flower rich pastures, once as common as a buttercup but depleted from the 1950s due to changes in land management, the cowslip is now regaining a foothold in roadside verges. ⁠ ⁠ Highly valued since ancient times for its medicinal uses, the cowslip contains an oil known as ‘primula camphor’ that has the potential for use as an anti-inflammatory and antihistamine. Used to make wine, jam, tea and ointment, it is thought to be a good sedative and was used in the treatment of coughs and bronchitis. A tad topical... but don’t try this at home. ⁠ ⁠ The folklore is rich, as is the origin of its name. In old English ‘cuslyppe’ translated to cowpat. Obviously, we prefer the more romantic adapted name, cowslip.⁠ ⁠ We have the last few of the edition of 25 available.⁠ H15cm ø18cm⁠ ⁠ Link in Bio.⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Details⁠ ⁠ This is probably the most detailed Details⁠ ⁠ This is probably the most detailed design to date for our limited edition bowls.⁠ ⁠ Looking forward to posting out the last of the orders this week.⁠ ⁠ Thanks again to everyone who has added to their collections or given a bowl a new home.⁠ ⁠ It's deeply satisfying to craft these pieces and enjoy the challenge of making them as similar to each other as possible.⁠ ⁠ The processes we use from the free blowing the glass to the engraving means that there will always be variation within every bowl.⁠ ⁠ I like to think of them as siblings, as opposed to twins.
