It’s been a raw day here today but I’ve been very cosy in the studio, waiting for the kiln to cool down. I’ve just unloaded these pieces ready for my open studio tomorrow. Everyone welcome for mulled wine and Christmassy refreshments. #openstudio #blueandwhiteceramics #rosemaryjackspottery

Sidmouth Folkweek starts today and I’m set up in Blackmore Gardens with @samphirejewellry. The market has just opened. #rosemaryjackspottery @sidmouthfolkfestival
@sidmouthfolkfestival is fast approaching so I’ve been getting in the zone and making some Green Man pots. I just love Folkweek and sharing my stall with @samphirejewellery is such fun. Hope to see you there. #greenman #sidmouthfolkweek #madebyhand #apotterslife #rosemaryjackspottery

Just in time. Coronation tea plates came out of the kiln this morning.
#coronation #kingcharles #kingcharlescoronation #coronationsouvenir #coronationplate #rosemaryjackspottery DM for details ๐๐ฌ๐ง
A mixed week to say the least. After sitting on my glasses and breaking off both arms I’ve been working with the remaining lenses attached to my face with a piece of elastic ( there will be no photo of this ๐ค๐)
I spent Monday morning happily painting this alphabet jug and Wednesday morning with the dustpan and brush and hoover getting rid of the shards of it from the kiln.
On a brighter note I’ve made a clock and found a very nice colour combo on my slop pot.
Happy Friday.#apotterslife #handmadepottery #wtf #handmadeclock #blueandwhiteceramics #blueandwhitepottery #happyFriday #rosemaryjackspottery

Far from the Madding Crowd.
Gorgeous evening walk tonight. The moon had just risen and the sun just set leaving a beautiful scarlet and mauve twilight, and the moon reflecting in the water was magical.

I’m having a lovely time with @samphirejewellery at Sidmouth Folkweek. Come and find us in the Blackmore Gardens. We’ll be there until Friday evening. @sidfolkfestival #sidmouthfolkweek #rosemaryjackspottery

It is the most beautiful morning here in West Dorset today and I’m here at Lyme Regis Farmers Market til about 4. @lymeregisfarmersmarket #westdorset #jurassiccoast #lymeregis #rosemaryjackspottery
Thank you @russellkingstonceramics for a fab demonstration day. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Here’s the finished mantel vase from a couple of weeks ago…just needs some flowers now. I’m really glad I left the second one plain and here are some bowls I’ve thrown today.#handmadepottery #mantelvase #flowervase #thrownandaltered #thatfridayfeeling #apotterslife #rosemaryjackspottery
Still warm.. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this one finished.

I’ve always wanted to visit Charleston Farmhouse, and this February we finally made it. It was a joy to be amongst such creativity and I came back full of inspiration.
Here is a mantle vase I’ve been working on. Now kiln ready I’ll post the finished piece soon.

Blackbird jugs drying for the kiln. All individual.. which is you favourite?

It’s enjoyed painting these tiles this afternoon. I’ve got another 27 to go but another quiet afternoon tomorrow should get me there( not all will have a central picture). The last image on here is a set I made a couple of years ago showing the transformation from grey to beautiful blue after firing #beautifulblue

Made myself a tulip vase for our Christmas table. Hope you all survived this festive season.
All the best for the new year. #delftinspired #tulipvase #tulips #blueandwhiteceramics #madebyhand #rosemaryjackspottery
A happy day welcoming lovely people to my open studio today. I’m open again tomorrow and over the weekend in my pottery in Musbury. Everyone welcome.

Rosemary's Christmas Pottery Sale next weekend.
Thursday 9th Dec 10 to 4pm
Friday 10th Dec 10 to 4pm
Saturday 11th Dec 10am to 4pm
Sunday 12th Dec 11 to 3pm.
I usually have my Christmas sale at the end of November but unfortunately my kiln packed up a few weeks ago and all my Christmas stock has been sitting patiently waiting to be fired.
I'm all back up and running now and looking forward to inviting you to visit. Hope to see you there.
This year I am exhibiting at several gallery shows including #gifted @bridportarts which runs until 22nd December , Tues to Saturday 10am to 4pm. Last week I attended the private view to look at some of the beautiful gifts for sale. Well worth a visit.
Some of you may be aware that I have had kiln issues but my new one is now up and running and details of my Christmas open studio will follow shortly.
#bridportartscentre @blue_shed_ceramics @hughdunfordwood
Lovely day out today delivering pots to @devonguildcrafts for #Make2021, their Christmas exhibition starting later this month ( including some of my Robin tealight).
Then on to Ashburton to @ashburngallery with some of my blue and white pieces.
And finished off with a brisk walk up Haytor between the showers.#devonlife #haytor #blueandwhiteceramics #tealights #jackrussell #rosemaryjackspottery
I love opening my kiln after a glaze firing. The transformation from bisqueware ( the piece on the right), dry, dull and rough to the finished glazed piece shiny, bright and smooth is so satisfying.
#bisqueware #glazedpottery #blueandwhiteceramics #madebyhand #apotterslife #rosemaryjackspottery
Look what’s coming soon.
Making these tea lights for that end of the year thing. #robintealight #robin #tealightholder #madebyhand #rosemaryjackspottery
Day two of Robin and fox making. Just a final bit of trimming tomorrow, ready for firing. #xmasdecorations #robins #foxes #robindecoration #rosemaryjackspottery
I’m at @lymeregisfarmersmarket today… the last one of the year.
The sea is calm and the air warm. We just need the sun to come out now. #lymeregisfarmersmarket #jurassiccoast #lymeregis #westdorset #madebyhand @brackenandbloomflowerfarm @samphirejewellery #rosemaryjackspottery
Finally got a day in the studio today. Lots of pieces made and I’ve even had time to start playing around with a few Christmassy bits.#clayinmyhair #apotterslife #wheelthrown #earthenware #candlesticks #wip #rosemaryjackspottery
@lymeregisfarmersmarket today. Lyme Regis is looking very beautiful and definitely less people about so a sense of calm has descended. A great time to visit.#lymeregis #jurassiccoast #westdorset #lymeregisfarmersmarket #rosemaryjackspottery
Last day of @craftfestival today. It’s been such a fun weekend and I’ve enjoyed meeting some fabulous makers including @juleshester @clover_robin #bexbourneartist #rosemaryjackspottery
All set a Bovey Tracey for @craftfestival tomorrow. Just a few tweaks needed in the morning. Say Hi ๐ if your passing, stand B11.
#madebyhand #craftfestival #blueandwhiteceramics #apotterslife #rosemaryjackspottery
Painting, painting, painting. All systems go for @craftfestival next weekend. Who’sgoing? Come and say hello #craftfestival . #boveytracey 10th to 12th September.
So lovely to be trading at Sidmouth Folk Festival again. This year I’m in the Blackmore Gardens Craft Village with Christa of @samphirejewellery . Such a good day meeting old friends. @sidfolkfestival #sidmouthfolkweek #handmade #artisanmarket #rosemaryjackspottery
@lymeregisfarmersmarket on the seafront today until mid afternoon with @samphirejewellery @brackenandbloomflowerfarm #lymeregis #feelslikethemedheretoday #artisanmarket #madebyhand #rosemaryjackspottery
Just what you’ve always wanted!
A Charles II mug and a boar jug. Available at @lymeregisfarmersmarket tomorrow and Uplyme Horticultural Show on Saturday.
Good to be out and about. #lymeregisfarmersmarket #blueandwhiteceramics #charlesII #boarjug #jug #mug #handmadepottery #rosemaryjackspottery
Lots going on in the pottery this week. Just slipped this big platter for a commission and plenty of jugs ready for their coating. #slipware #platter #handmadepottery #wheelthrownpottery #rosemaryjackspottery
A trip into Axminster this morning for our second jabs was enhanced by seeing Brian in his French Postie putting in bedding plants in the churchyard, and a visit to @axminsterheritage which is free to all Ex13 postcode holders today. Particularly interested in the Weycroft Mill display and well worth a visit #frenchpostie #socool #axminster #eastdevon
