Chessell Pottery Barns

So I have been working at Chessell Pottery Barns for basically as long as I can remember! It is a pottery painting studio with a lovely adjoining Shop and Cafe. I now just work in the pottery assisting customers when painting their pottery to take home and I work with the production team making the bisque pottery. 

However, after approximately 6 years of decorating pottery I still haven't quite got the hand of it as the paints change quite dramatically when glazed and fired.

My younger sister and I decorated an Emma Bridgewater water jug for our Mum's Birthday and were quite ambitious in terms of design and experimenting with layering paints.

As usual I'm not completely happy with it but it means I'm still learning! My Mum loves it so that's what matters. We also treated her to Chessell's new High Tea as another Birthday treat, which was delicious. Everyone around us was very jealous! I'd highly recommend it.
