Coastal and Moorland Pottery

Handmade in Devon.

April Collection

Hello I’m Leela, the artist behind the pottery.
I specialise in warm, earthy and coastal pottery pieces that are a blend of contemporary and rustic. I take inspiration from my Devon surroundings of wild moorland, rolling hills and rugged coastline.
I create my glazes from scratch using carefully measured and tweaked recipes and I experiment with wild clay that I collect in small quantities from the plentiful clay deposits across Devon.
My handmade pottery business is environmentally conscious. I reduce waste during the making process, fire kilns as efficiently as possible, and package pottery without plastic, unless it is being reused.

Which flat lidded jar is your favourite? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6? I know which mine is. These jars are so useful in the kitchen, I have tea bags in mine. These plus Apothecary Jars will be in tomorrow's update 😍.

Earthy hamlets of tiny wood-fired cottages. I'm excited to fire more in the wood kiln this month. If you had/have a hamlet where would you put it? I've got them dotted around on door ledges and windowsills in my house and they make me smile whenever
