Sol y Luna, London
A collection of new studio pottery & other vintage hand-made finds
​
Functional or purely decorative, ceramics are for everyone. They make an ideal gift for those hard to buy for people who have everything ... but do they have a unique piece of pottery that tells their personal story or contains a message, or maybe a quirky piece to match their personality?
It can be difficult to find an appropriate gift that's a little bit different for a milestone birthday or other landmark occasion like the arrival of a new baby/christening, a wedding, house-warming or an anniversary? A specially commissioned piece of pottery is an individual, one-of-a-kind and unique gift that is affordable and one that will last and be admired for many years to come.
​
I use several styles and a variety of clays in my work, with each giving a different effect. I use colourful glazes, slips and oxide washes on the bodies of some but I am equally at home with simply decorated neutral colours.
​
Words are a lovely extra touch to personalise a piece and to honour an occasion like a date, a place name or just a touching message or quote.
​
If the idea of a personalised gift sounds interesting, contact me to chat about your ideas. You can email me at solylunalondon@yahoo.com. Oh yes, by the way .... I will need time to make so give it 6-8 weeks to be on the safe side to allow time to discuss and agree a design and bear in mind that each piece will need to be decorated and fired at least twice and sometimes three times, depending on the end result required.
​
Here are a few examples that can be made to order with one or two currently available to buy immediately.
