So excited to see my acer serving bowl gracing the page of Ceramic Review this issue. Such a shock I nearly dropped my coffee! It’s featured in an advertorial for the British Craft Trade Fair which I’m taking part in next month. So pleased, it’s a new design in my hand painted and sgraffito decorated earthenware range.
Exciting news! As the Crow Flies will be attending the British Craft Trade Fair this April with a stand in the Newcomers’ Gallery. Here’s a screengrab of As the Crow Flies’ online catalogue page:
It’ll be the first trade-specific event ATCF has been to, so lots of development work is underway… Some new designs in the pipeline as well as research going into laser-cutting some original ATCF illustrations to bring a new dimension to the slab built porcelain range.
Looking forward to this event so much!
Pleased with the work-in-progress on a new range of hand-illustrated earthenware… It’s my favourite way of working and I was thrilled to be commissioned by a good friend to produce Christmas presents for her extended family featuring favourite trees. The pictures here show work in the green ware stage – at present they are in the kiln cooling after their first bisque firing and will be glazed by the end of the week – must remember and post up some photos of the final pieces! Maple, Oak and Beech feature on these pieces, with some hidden personalisations such as imprints of leaves from family gardens inside the mugs.
I’m delighted to confirm that on Saturday and Sunday 15th-16th November As the Crow Flies will be at The Front Room Arts Trail, Totterdown, Bristol showing at Gaines Greengrocers, 198 Wells Rd, BS4 2AX. Looking forward to revealing some new pieces specially produced for the show.
Excited to be attending a fair in one of my favourite places in Bristol on Sunday 30th November 10am-4pm: Arnos Vale Christmas Fayre, Spielman Centre at Arnos Vale Cemetary, Bath Road, Bristol BS4 3AW.
On Friday December 12th 9am-3pm I’ll be attending Blandford Christmas Market, in the Corn Exchange, Blandford Forum, Dorset. Pastures new!
From now until Christmas there will be As the Crow Flies cards, mugs, tea towels and cufflinks at Room 212 shop and gallery on the Gloucester Road, Bristol.

Introducing a fine new range of rather jaunty hand made and hand painted porcelain and antiqued brass cufflinks…
As the Crow Flies had a bit of an outing with some very different winged beasts last week, occupying a stand at the Farnborough International Airshow in Surrey. Really excited to take along a new product made especially for the show – the Flight mug, featuring a plethora of birds, balloons and biplanes. Glad it went down well with the punters at Farnborough too!
Introducing the fabulous Mr Peacock Legs mug… Designed to fit in with the fabulous Peacock Tea Towel already in the As the Crow Flies home ware range, Mr Peacock Legs comes in several different guises. In the larger size (9.2cm high x 8.5 cm diameter), you can choose from a black or the new summer magenta version; each one is printed front and back with hand-applied decals, plus playful gangly legs dangling on the inner rims. The magenta version also has his name inscribed in scroll script on the outside. What’s not to like, as they say?
Particularly pleased with the treasure I found in the kiln this morning…
This is a new colourway and vintage lace design that I’ve been trialling for my ever-popular Doily Ware range. The tactile smooth porcelain with it’s warped curves goes beautifully with the intricacy of this hand made lace. Colours include pure cobalt and copper oxides as well as a limited palette of carefully chosen underglaze colours. Shown below is the doily mug and large bowl, with a cobalt blue doily jug using the classic striking vintage lace pattern. I think they complement well.
