Handmade Ceramic Summer Garden Pendant in lavender and lilac

The summer garden, with abundant blooms, soft skies and swallows swooping overhead, inspired this design. This pretty pendant has flowers and birds stamped into the wet clay, which after firing I have painted with shades of lilac and lavender. This is from a range of coordinating colourful accessories.

Many of my designs are inspired by where I live and work – rural Ceredigion in beautiful West Wales. All my jewellery is made and decorated entirely by hand.

After forming my pendants from fine white clay, I imprint my design. When dry, I sand the back and sides of the pendants and round off the corners to ensure they are super smooth. They then have their first firing. Next I apply washes of colour to the background and paint in the detail using under-glazes, finally applying a transparent glaze, before firing again to earthenware. Being glazed all over they are smooth against the skin whilst retaining the texture of the imprinted design. The result is a pleasantly tactile item.
