Handcrafted Stoneware Ceramics from the Forest of Dean

My name is Amanda Dawson and I love a slow considered way of making beautiful pottery with my hands.

Each piece is unique due to the way its made with simple tools.

  • Simple lines but eyecatching ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had my eye on this contemporary piece for a while. Loving the simple lines of the actual piece and the linear shadows it creates. Larger than anticipated, pleasant surprise. Well packaged. Delighted I managed to get it in the sale :-) Hope to see more similar work.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely piece of pottery - well packaged as it managed to survive being thrown over a high gate by the postman despite being marked as fragile!
