Each Year, I offer a gift to someone on my Mailing List to Win as a small token of my thanks for your continued support.

This year, I’m GIVING AWAY a Handmade Porcelain Rose to 5 Winners of my mailing list!

Because, flowers can act like totems of growth to nudge us to continually nurture our dreams, our health or our state of mind if we want to grow and bloom. And a welcome reminder that if we don’t, we may risk withering.

As we move into 2022, it's worth considering how can we best nurture ourselves or our art.

 What’s a porcelain rose?

A porcelain rose is created using the most luxurious Ming Porcelain which is melted down into a silky fluid, heralded as ‘liquid gold’ by ceramicists and then combined with paper fibres to form Paper-Clay.

This paperclay is then poured onto plaster batts, which soak up the excess water so it can be lifted to create paper thin sheets of porcelain clay. These sheets are cut, moulded and shaped to create individual petals which are hand pieced together to create unique and meticulously crafted porcelain flowers.

Originally, I had created them to form my own wedding bouquet to solve the problem of marrying into an entire family who are allergic to flowers and save the day from sneezes, but I adore being able to keep the flowers in the house, 3 years down the line!

And so, I am creating a series of one off roses which can be wall mounted, framed or set upon a window sill or mantlepiece and I’m offering 5 of these to you, as a small token of my gratitude for being with me on the mailing list.

 How it works

This Gift is exclusively for members of my mailing list, Studio Notes. As part of Studio Notes, you have access to emails full of tips to make time for and develop your artwork, insights into the studio and offers (like this) that you will not find anywhere else.

By entering for a chance to win a Porcelain Rose, you will automatically become a part of Studio Notes, which you’re welcome to unsubscribe from at any time.

5 Winners will be drawn on Monday 10 January and I will get in touch directly with the winners to arrange delivery, at no cost to you.

Good Luck!!
