        Ruby Duncan – A Mother Potter

        I love to create what you can enjoy and use as part of your daily life; mugs, plates, vases and more. I use a variety of clays and glazes, I love experimenting with shape and colour, and aim to have some new pieces you haven't seen before. This year I am teaming up with artist and friend Judy McIntyre at her studio in her charming back garden.
