The blackbirds started this whole bird adventure. They were the first birds that I painted and I often watch them chasing each other around the garden. Strangely, the black colouring is one of the hardest things to do well, and I get the effect I do by using the brushstrokes to mimic the plumage, and two different kinds of black ceramic colours to give the variation I’m looking for. I love the bright yellow vibrant eye and beak, too!

Full description

This Blackbird pottery ornament would make the perfect gift for friends and family, or provide a lovely finishing touch for special little places in your home, particularly if you're a fan of a certain Beatles track!

Each piece is one of a kind with a fresh individually hand-painted design, inspired by my love of birds and the traditional British countryside.

Each one is cut out from a slice of white earthenware clay, mounted on its own ceramic and wire stand, dried, fired in a potter's kiln, then dipped in glaze and hand painted with professional ceramic colours to fix the design in the final firing.

Blackbirds are about 7cm tall and measures about 9cm from its beak to the tip of its tail-feathers.

Designed by Louise Crookenden-Johnson in Kettering
