Pottery showcase (new here)

Hello everyone this is my first time posting here, having just found the Facebook Folksy shop group. I’ve been on Folksy for about a month and after a very warm welcome on the Facebook group it was suggested I find the Folksy forums so here I am😊

My pottery hobby pays for clay and glazes and so that I can make pieces to auction for animal rescue charities (World Animal Friends and Friends of Ferals, both on Facebook). In fact one of my larger bowls is currently up for auction here - and this is the piece I would like to Showcase. I hope thats ok? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1029311587154347/permalink/2485891981496293/

And here is the link to my shop in case you’d like to see what else I do - https://folksy.com/shops/Pawprintpottery

I really look forward to getting more connected with you all on here and would love to know if there are any forums specifically for ceramic makers?

Hi, welcome to Folksy - your work is lovely :slight_smile:

I’m a fellow ceramic artist but I don’t really know about any ceramic specific forums, although I’m sure there must be some!

Lovely work. We really like the colours that you produce. Hope that the bowl auction makes a good price for your chosen charity.
We know a local wood worker who sadly lost his wife to Cancer some years ago. He now donates all his fair takings to Cancer research and has raised thousands of pounds over the years. It’s a nice thing to do if you can.

Thank you. What a wonderful way for him to honour his wife’s memory

Maybe we should start a pottery thread? Lovely to meet a fellow clay lover, I will check out your shop. Are you on Instagram too?

I did start a clay thread once but there aren’t that many potter’s here that participate in the forums so it faded away…lol! We could always start a pottery chat thread where we promote work and chat about ceramics!

Yes, I am on Instagram - here’s my link - if you give me a follow and I’ll follow you back x
