Aprons at Heath Ceramics

I’ve just sent off aprons, designed and made by Skinny laMinx, to Heath Ceramics in California. They’re about to open their new store in Los Angeles, and their staff will be wearing these aprons! I’m really delighted about this, and hope that I’ll manage a visit to Heath Ceramics next year some time.

Shipping Special

For the month of November, I’ve got low, low shipping rates for International buyers in my Etsy shop. So a tea towel that did cost $5.50 to send, now only costs $1.50!

They’re brand new, and nothing’s even been fired yet, but I have new ceramic transfers that I’m putting onto mugs. Great fun, and an exciting new palette. A couple of sneak peek pics below:

Heath Ceramics bag

Earlier in the year, I did a design for venerable ceramics company Heath Ceramics in Sausalito, California. The design has been printed onto tote bags, and are apparently selling like hot cakes! I was delighted to get one in the post recently.
