A great pottery throw down.

What else do doulas do?

Well this doula has wanted to throw a pot ever since she made a house out of clay at middle school. That’s many years ago. (Lots of them!!)

Anna Stiles, potter extraordinaire and wonderful friend, lives locally to me in Dorset, and has a rather splendid workshop in the barn next to her rambling farmhouse. www.annastilespottery.com
Anna is one of the Sherborne Indies - a group of independent retailers and businesses in the town - and I am passionate about supporting these.
*In fact, I have asked Anna to design an exclusive range of teapots for my welcome pack; much more on this later!

Anna is a huge advocate for the therapeutic nature of working with clay and after discussing sustainability and working with natural materials with my brother and cousin, and the advantages of working with such an ancient pastime, we arrived on a rather frosty morning to throw our first pots!

I am delighted she’s only 15 minutes away so that when our pots are dry (and we’re not so restricted by lockdowns and tiers) I can help her glaze them before they go in the kiln.
