About me

      

Hi, I'm Alice and I run my pottery studio Little Shop of Pots in Ashwell, North Hertfordshire. I am a ceramic artist specialising in handbuilt stoneware giftware and homewares. My playful, characterful ceramics are stocked in various local shops across North Herts, and I regularly host workshops in my cosy Ashwell studio as well as at community venues. I am also a tutor at Made With Clay Studio in Letchworth, where I manage admissions and support new learners on their clay journey.

I have a background in Fine Art and History of Art and spent many years in the fine art publishing world before making the leap in 2015 to pursue a more hands-on, creative path. That shift led me to clay—a material that perfectly matches my love for texture, storytelling and irreverent humour!

My work champions utility and humour, celebrating everyday function while never taking itself too seriously. Cultural references, cheeky slogans and unexpected design flourishes regularly appear. I prefer to celebrate surface design over formal precision, and my ceramics are full of intricate hand-finishing and playful additions—making every piece feel personal, expressive and just a little bit rebellious...
