Bright and beautiful with a function

Hi,
I have being "potting" for about 20 years since Uni, where I joined the pottery club. Up until last year I had continued potting at my local Adult Education Centre. I was made redundant last year having worked in the Energy sector for 20 years, so I have taken the opportunity to up my passion and try and start a craft business. I bought a small second-hand kiln which works from a 13 amp fuse (3000 watt- same as a kettle but on for longer).
I have had a steep learning curve to increase my knowledge of glazes and firing, as at the Centre these were always provided for the "students".
Out of all the ideas I settled on animal money boxes, throwing two basic body shapes and adding to these to form the animals...dragons, bats, tortoises, sheep, badgers... I have created 6 categories (once I have finished uploaded my designs) Dragons & Dinosaurs, Seaside, African Savannah, Farmyard, British Countryside and Pets. The one exception to the money box theme is hedgehogs, they had to be pencil holders! I will be branching out to more pencil/brush holders as demand has grown...
I love wildlife, and inspiration comes from all around me, my family and going out and about.
I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I do!

Buying from me

Hi!
I have a great passion for making beautifully hand-crafted items using clay in my home studio. Since last year, I have been working hard to create a collection of animal money boxes, the old fashioned variety, where you need a blunt knife to extract saved coins (but I do make the coin slot large).
Note : for shipping, as this is pottery, each item has to be "double boxed" which makes it a small package by Royal Mail standards, so just the shipping could take 3 days.

Returns Policy

You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.

Please note: Unless faulty, the following types of items are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements; personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken.

Please note with shipping pottery no-one will insure or guarantee it, so for this reason I am only posting to within Mainland UK, using 2nd class Royal Mail Medium sized Parcel service.
It is probably best to come and see me at an Event: see my facebook page for where & dates: https://www.facebook.com/njcpottery
I try and use as much recycled materials for packaging as possible.
Please check package as soon as it arrives. In the event of any breakages please send a photo of outside/item, so that I can send a replacement (may take time) or a refund, this will help me learn & improve packaging.
