Coastal and Moorland Pottery

Handmade in Devon.

November Collection

Hello I’m Leela, the artist behind the pottery.
I specialise in warm, earthy and coastal pottery pieces that are a blend of contemporary and rustic. I take inspiration from my Devon surroundings of wild moorland, rolling hills and rugged coastline.
I create my glazes from scratch using carefully measured and tweaked recipes and I experiment with wild clay that I collect in small quantities from the plentiful clay deposits across Devon.
My handmade pottery business is environmentally conscious. I reduce waste during the making process, fire kilns as efficiently as possible, and package pottery without plastic, unless it is being reused.

How much fun are these? Pottery egg trays in cream and shino. The colour of eggs perfectly complements these glazes don't you think? I've made four and may have to make one for myself next month.

I think my colour palette is autumn, would you agree? Here are some photos from the past year or so - wood-fired, soda-fired and electric-fired pieces that I love. Today I'll start photographing the pieces that came out of the gas firing, so I'm look

Here it is, the finished work! I Iove that I can have warm and earthy colours using shino glazes that I can't achieve in my electric kiln. My car is filled with boxes of pots that I'll unload this morning, and go through and digest each one. More pho
