About Me

Hey, I'm Ela, and I make handmade ceramics. After taking a beginner's pottery course in January 2023, I fell absolutely head over heels for the craft. I had recently left my job as a research scientist in pursuit of more creative things - and it felt wonderful to be doing something tangible and tactile with my hands. I worked from then on as a studio technician, learning how to fire work and make glazes, and all things behind-the-scenes!

In October 2024, myself and a few pottery friends got serious and set up our own dedicated pottery workshop on a local farm - giving us more room and creative freedom to pursue our craft. I got my first wheel and kiln, and a proper place to store and organise my work and materials. It's been an absolute dream come true. We have dedicated workstations, communal areas, and equipment galore! Not only that, but the farm has a wonderful community of other creatives, as well as a secret garden, tearooms, and miles of beautiful English countryside surrounding us. We've been able to open our workshop to the public at our very own open studio events, and we've met some wonderful people. Keep an eye out on my Instagram for information on the next one!

I'm so excited to see what we'll all achieve in the next year. This latest collection is my first since moving in!
