The enduring bond we share with our animal companions transcends mere companionship; it’s a deep connection built on unwavering loyalty, affection, and shared moments.

Our dogs and cats have unique personalities and their presence leaves an indelible market in our lives. A pottery Pet portrait offers a profound and enduring way to honour this bond with a chance to create a tangible lasting tribute.

In my eight years of making ceramics I look back and find my camera roll is full of other peoples pets, I love that I am trusted to capture their characters in clay, and its such a great part of my pottery day to scrutinise all the pictures to find their character and immortalise it in ceramic paint! Every animal has their name hand painted on the reverse.
