Hello I’m Leela, the artist behind the pottery.
Rooted in the wild beauty of Devon, from moorlands and rolling hills to rugged coastlines, my pottery blends contemporary design with ancient influence.
Each piece is handmade using glazes I formulate from scratch and fire in electric, gas, and wood kilns.
I often incorporate wild clay, gathered in small, sustainable quantities from local deposits, grounding my work in the very landscape that inspires it.
Environmental responsibility is central to my practice: I minimise waste, fire efficiently, and package without plastic.
My work is a celebration of nature, storytelling, and the timeless beauty of handmade craft.

Leela's Journey

Wild clay.

A masterclass by Ceramic Review on how I forage and test wild clays to determine their throwing and firing potential, plus how I use it in my slip-decorating process.

Soap dishes. You may have seen this in my last drop. They were very popular and so I've made some more. They're currently in a box waiting to be trimmed with a little foot ring and then I will decorate them. I'll save a couple to be glazed in shino a

I just loved this mug. The design, the combination of rich brown slip and pale, peachy shino. I'm currently working on decorating a fresh batch of pieces. This time, I'm taking this design a little further and including an apple tree with just a few

One of my favourites so far, 'The Great Dog Constellation Platter' with Sirius the dog star shining bright. Three dogs are gathered to gaze up at the sky, I wonder what they are thinking?

I've been busy making again and I'm hoping that some pieces
