About Pottie Annie

Pottie Annie

I'm passionate about designing and hand making pottery. This is Betty , my lovely Golden Doodle.

Welcome to my Folksy shop. I LOVE pottery! I have been making pottery for years ( 25 OMG!). Everything is handmade either by hand building or throwing on the wheel. Everything is then hand painted ( except the chintz transfers. I don't usually like transfers but these are gorgeous ). All my ceramics are a one of a kind original as I really enjoy the research and design process and do not want to do production runs.
I make mainly jugs, vases, bowls, trinket dishes and boxes. I am inspired by 1950's design and Scandinavian patterns. I adore rich, deep turquoise and blue glazes especially in combination with gold. I create two types of floral ranges. One is purely hand painted using brush strokes ( please note some of these jugs have been slip cast as I only learnt how to throw properly on the wheel during the first lockdown). The other range is made by using moulds created from flowers picked from my own garden.
I use white earthenware clay. Once the item has been thrown or hand built, fettled and dried, it is bisque fired to 1050 C. Each item is then hand painted using underglazes and then dipped into a transparent glaze and fired to 1020 C. Transfers are added to my chintz range at this point and re-fired to 750 C. And finally, the gold lustre is painted and fired once again to 750 C. Pottery is a long process! Every item is unique - if you want uniformity and mass production you are in the wrong place! If a similar item is required to one which has been sold, it will not be exactly the same.
Please check all the pictures and read descriptions before purchasing and ask questions to avoid disappointment and having to make a return. I endeavour to use Eco friendly packaging. All items listed are in stock and will be posted within 5 days or less once order received using Royal Mail 2nd Class. Please contact me if an item is needed urgently.
I also run a Paint a Pot studio in Markeaton Park, a lovely park in Derby. This is open to the public all year round so everyone can enjoy painting pottery just like me ! Feel free to visit if ever nearby where you can also browse all my handmade pottery on sale as not all of them are listed here. I also have an online shop ( just created during the third lockdown) - annemariemaceceramics.com
