Creative day in Wales

Last week we had a lovely creative day at Joy Butlers studio in Wales. We used ceramic paints to decorate reclaimed china pieces and of course there was lots of tea and cake as usual.

Tea anyone? The ceilings were full of rows of antique teacups, what a great idea!

We made little concertina books full of ideas and we loved using the vibrant inks.


Thank you to Ruth and Joy for a lovely day out, we had such an inspiring time!
