Hello! I'm back to tell you about a giveaway, by way of celebration of all things new this season! Again I've been absent from blogger for far too long, I'm hoping to get back in to the swing of things soon and visit you more regularly.....like the good old days!;P The shop is uber busy, I get a little free time to visit Pinterest once and a while but with the pending arrival of an extra member at FEN&NED the pressure will hopefully ease soon!
We're massively chuffed at FEN&NED about our new additions to the Live a Simple Life category. The pieces above are made at the studio of Sue Paraskeva on the Isle of Wight and we think they go perfectly with our love for fantastic quality, simple design and products that are not mass produced. Sue Paraskeva is not only one of the loveliest people I've ever met, she too is the most talented! Sue uses recycled porcelain and a porcelain and stoneware mix for her pieces and these are made on an electricity free momentum wheel, of which I've marveled at on each visit!
Sue has used this method along with reduction firing in a gas kiln, in the creation of her work over the last 16 years.
We now stock a selection of Sue's work and to celebrate this we are giving away one of the 'Speckled Grey Jugs' (shown in the last image above) The jug is a porcelain and stoneware mix and the inside is finished with a clear glaze.
Also new for us is, our FEN&NED Facebook page, where we will keep fellow facebook lovelies up to date with all things new and we'll run regular giveaways over there too. So to enter the giveaway, please pop over and 'like' our facebook page, where we will reveal the winner of the jug (chosen at random) on Monday 10th October at Midday (ish) GMT
Many thanks you beautiful people!!!
