Abundance

Midsummer, Litha, Summer Solstice, the Longest Day - whatever you like to call it, this is the day where the sun is at the peak of its power and shines for the longest length of time. Many things are abundant at Midsummer - light, growth, pattern, colour - all the things that make this vessel sing.

Approx dimensions: 28.5cm x 25.5cm x 8.5cm - this vessel is an irregular ovoid-like shape
Price: £285 (+p&p)

Imbolc - Bud & Blossom

Part of an ongoing series based on the Pagan Wheel of the Year.

Imbolc falls halfway between Yule (Winter Solstice) and Ostara (Spring Equinox), when the clouds start to clear, the sun rises earlier, the first buds appear on the apple trees and snowdrops start to show their heads.

Approx dimensions: 24cmW x 16cmD x 7cmH
Price: £185 (+p&p)

Please contact me if you are interested in this piece. There is a prototype version of this vessel available at Gigglewick Gallery for £120.

Beltane - Between the Veil

Large, rounded bowl celebrating the Pagan Fire Festival of Beltane, which marks the start of summer. Some believe that the veil between the worlds is thinnest at Beltane, allowing contact with nature spirits and folk in the 'other realm'. Mark-making in midnight-hued glass powders allows just a glimpse off the bonfire flames to shine beneath.

Approx dimensions: 24cmW x 7cmH
Price: £165 (+p&p)

Where the Leys Lie

Ley Lines are straight paths that cut across our landscape, aligning ancient sites such as standing stones, churches as barrows. It is likely that aligning features helped with planning trade or religious routes, but many people believe that Leys also represent paths of energy, connecting centres of magical power.

Price: £85
These vessels can be made to order. Please contact me for more information.

First Frost

Rounded vessel exploring the change from autumn to winter, and perceptions of frost. Opposing marks and colours on the two sides of the vessel scatter light in dots and shards. This is the good bit of the cold season, when the disk is velvet blue and flecked with the twinkle of lights, and the mornings are crisp and sharp.

Approx dimensions: 24cmW x 6cmH
Price: £185 (+p&p)

This piece is currently at Gigglewick Gallery

Litha - Lavender

Litha in the Pagan Wheel of the Year, is Midsummer Night - the time around Summer Solstice when the fae folk enter our world to give blessings and thanks for the summer abundance of plants, fruit and vegetables. The smell of lavender and flora is thick and heady.

In Sussex, Litha is celebrated with Morris Dancing and torchlight. Cissbury and Chanctonbury Rings are particularly associated with Midsummer Fae Folk.
