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.

I still remember the moment I saw it in print. There, nestled within the pages of The Lady  (1st Nov–5th Dec 2024 issue), was my vase trio, my humble business, ArtyPax —the shouldered vase, the wavy-rimmed vase, and the tall neck vase. One of those quiet-but-huge moments that makes you stop, smile, and think, yes… this is why I do this . A Trio Designed to Be Lived With This vase trio is designed to feel calm, timeless and quietly expressive—pieces that don’t shout for attention but gently earn it. The shouldered vase  is grounded and reassuring, perfect for fuller stems or dried arrangements. The wavy-rimmed vase  brings movement and softness, inspired by natural rhythms and imperfect beauty. The tall neck vase  is elegant and understated, made to hold a single stem just as confidently as a small bouquet. Together, they’re meant to work as a set or  shine individually—styled on shelves, tables, or windowsills, becoming part of everyday life rather than something kept “just for best”. Why Being Featured in The Lady Means So Much The Lady  is one of the UK’s longest-established magazines, renowned for its thoughtful editorial, timeless style and celebration of quality craftsmanship - values that sit right at the heart of ArtyPax. With a loyal readership that values tradition, longevity and well-made pieces, being featured in its pages feels like a meaningful endorsement of slow, considered design, especially as a small UK business built slowly and intentionally. This wasn’t about trends or quick wins. It was about objects made with care, designed to last, and chosen because they resonate. That recognition means more than I can easily put into words. A Quiet Thank You I’m so grateful to be featured in The Lady &  for them including my work. To everyone who has supported ArtyPax—whether you’ve purchased a piece, shared my work, or simply followed along. Moments like this don’t happen in isolation; they’re built on years of making, refining, and believing in slow, meaningful creativity. If you’ve welcomed one of these vases into your home, know that it started life as a sketch, became clay and ended up somewhere I never quite imagined—on the pages of a magazine I’ve long admired. And honestly? That feels pretty special.

Some moments stop you in your tracks—and this was one of them. Featured in Coast magazine (December 2024 issue) was my puffin ceramic and I’m still quietly buzzing about it. A Puffin Inspired by the British Coast The puffin has always felt like such a joyful symbol of the UK coastline—characterful, resilient and unmistakably iconic. With this piece, it captures that gentle charm without overworking it. Simple forms, soft detailing and a calm presence that feels at home on a shelf, windowsill, or tucked among other treasured objects. Like all my pieces at ArtyPax, this puffin began as a quiet idea, created by hand, with nature firmly at its heart. Seeing it celebrated in a magazine that shares that same love of the coast felt like a perfect meeting point. Why Being Featured in Coast Is Such an Honour Coast  is one of the UK’s most well-loved lifestyle magazines, known for its beautiful photography, thoughtful writing and deep connection to coastal living. It’s a publication that reaches readers who truly value craftsmanship, storytelling, and the natural world—people who notice the details and care about where things come from. To have my pottery included in their December issue, a time when homes feel especially reflective and meaningful, was incredibly affirming. It felt like a nod not just to one piece, but to the slower, more intentional way ArtyPax is built. Gratitude, Always I’m so grateful to the team at Coast  for featuring my puffin ceramic and to everyone who continues to support my work—whether by collecting a piece, sharing my journey, or simply cheering me on from afar. Moments like this remind me why I do what I do: to be creatively inspired by nature in a way that carries a sense of place, calm and quiet joy. And knowing this little puffin found its way into the pages of Coast ? That’s something I’ll treasure for a long time.
