An Autumn Feature I’ll Always Treasure: ArtyPax Ceramics in Mollie Makes

Autumn has always been one of my biggest sources of inspiration, so being featured in Mollie Makes Magazine (October 2022 issue) felt incredibly special (my first magazine feature).


My autumn ceramics —including barn owls, mushrooms, wolves, and skulls—were included as part of their autumn gift article, and it’s a moment I still look back on with a huge sense of pride.

Ceramics Inspired by the Turning Season


These pieces came from my appreciation of the slower, darker months—the shift in light, the earthy tones, and the quiet magic that autumn brings.


  • The barn owls inspire dusk walks and the stillness of countryside evenings.

  • The mushrooms celebrate woodland textures and the beauty of small, overlooked details.

  • The wolves carry a sense of wildness and folklore.

  • The skulls feel natural and organic rather than macabre—quiet nods to the cycle of life.


Each piece was cast slowly by hand, with natural finishes and textures that echo the season rather than shout about it.


Why Being Featured in Mollie Makes Meant So Much


Mollie Makes is one of the UK’s most influential creative magazines, loved for championing independent makers, original design and thoughtful handmade work. It’s a publication that genuinely supports small businesses and celebrates creativity in all its forms.


To have my work selected for their autumn gift feature felt like a real vote of confidence. It placed ArtyPax alongside other carefully curated, creative brands and introduced my ceramics to readers who truly appreciate craftsmanship, storytelling, and seasonal living.


A Moment of Real Gratitude


Being featured in Mollie Makes feels like a genuinely special milestone for ArtyPax. Seeing my autumn ceramics included in a magazine I’ve long admired is both surreal and deeply encouraging. It’s a reminder that slow, seasonal work—made with care and intention—has its place and its audience.


I’m incredibly grateful to the Mollie Makes team for including my work and to everyone who supports ArtyPax in big and small ways. Knowing these pieces have connected with readers who value creativity, craftsmanship, and autumn’s quiet magic makes this feature even more meaningful.
