2025 onwards marks a big change for me . I've stepped back from making large numbers of working pots each winter and concentrating on shows from now onwards. My hands simply won't allow me to continue doing the large amounts.

This winter will be 1st in a very long time that I won't be making lots of pots. Standing down from that now so only doing the shows and private orders. Looking forwards to a winter not outside in all weather's

Jean wanted one of my traditional willow lobster pots made minus the base . This is what it's for. Basically used as a garden decoration to support climbing flowers etc in this case a fuchsia

Starting to take shape now. Leaving the base of the pot undone enables plants to grow up and through the pot. https://t.co/8JzFJEzHDV
