The ‘Small Scale, Big Ideas’ exhibition is now open until 29th May at @thebuildingcentre in London!

Bringing together 13 practices that treat domestic projects as sites for experimentation, the exhibition explores how architects and engineers are reimagining the home as a laboratory for social, material, and environmental change. At a time when construction drives nearly 40% of global emissions, these projects ask urgent questions - and offer hopeful answers - about how we build, live, and shape a more responsible future.

Over the past month, our team has had the opportunity to revisit our original competition entry for The Liverpool School of Building, through the lense of both community and process.

The Liverpool School of Building started in 2023 as the winning response to a Liverpool City Region competition addressing vacant terraced housing.We proposed a combination of craft, care, and technology to restore a row of Victorian houses into modern homes.

Since then, we have developed community skills in low-carbon building, alongside feminist research interests in social narratives to inform construction and planning. This has led to industry awards and projects such as @growing_sudley and @thebrontecentre.

Working alongside structural engineers Elliott Bond and specialist manufacturer @hooseltd, we have begun to propose a viable, sustainable solution to many of the empty terraced streets in the North of England. Our exhibition pieces include display panels of our proposal and a 1:50 concept model of the terraces made from clay and timber by in-house ceramicist and architect Bonnie (@mud_and_maker). Zooming in, we are also displaying a large-scale model in collaboration with HOOSE, which explains the construction detail we are developing using natural, breathable materials such as @sisalwool .

Throughout the month, there will be a series of lunchtime talks delivered at The Building Centre’s @ubuild ampitheatre, with HSA presenting in collaboration with @jayne_lawless and Janet Brandon (TrickFilm) on 22nd May 1pm.

Feeling hugely grateful to everyone who shopped Mud+Maker this Christmas. I hope the pieces have settled into their new homes and become well-used, lived with, and enjoyed.

This year has been about learning the full rhythm of making: clay prep, wheel work, kiln firings, glazing experiments, drying times, problem-solving… and figuring out how to run a small business along the way. Thank you to everyone who shared knowledge, lent support, or chose to buy a piece. Every little bit of it has mattered so much.

I’m taking all of that learning into the year ahead, with new forms, new ideas, and plenty of clay in 2026 🌀.

Christmas is creeping closer, and if you missed out on a custom Mud+Maker order this year, don’t worry - we’ve still got you.

11 different Mud+Maker pieces are on the shelves at the @curatedmakers pop-up in The Bluecoat, Liverpool, waiting for last-minute gift-hunters who want something thoughtful, tactile, and made by hand.

From wheel-thrown tumblers to breakfast bowls, mugs, and everything in between, each piece carries the rhythm of the studio - early mornings, late nights, and all the slow work in between.

Thank you for shopping small this season ✨

The shelves are stocked. The kiln’s had a rest. And you can now find Mud+Maker pieces in the brand new @curatedmakers pop-up at The Bluecoat, Liverpool, open now through to January.

Swipe to see the 11 products I’ve got on offer - each one handmade, and made to be lived with. It’s a collection built for everyday rituals: slow coffee, good conversation, and the kind of moments that make a space feel like home.

Curated Makers brings together 50+ independent designers and makers under one roof, connecting local hands to local shoppers. I’m proud to be part of it - a small corner of something bigger, full of craft, care, and community.

If you’re in Liverpool, stop by for a browse (and maybe some gift ideas). Shop small, shop thoughtful, and find something that’ll last.

It’s been a little quiet here lately - but for good reason. I’ve been busy behind the scenes designing, making, and firing a new collection for the @curatedmakers pop-up in Liverpool @the_bluecoat, running from this Saturday through until the new year.

It’s an honour to have Mud+Maker stocked alongside 50+ brilliant independent makers, each bringing something special to the table - the perfect place to find considered gifts (for others or yourself) this Christmas.

A small reminder to shop local and shop independent where you can. Every piece made, bought, and gifted this season genuinely makes a difference - and it means more than I can say.

I’ll have 11 different pieces stocked with Curated Makers, each made with care, intention, and a fair bit of clay dust. I can’t wait for them to find their new homes and become part of your everyday rituals.

Thanks as always to @clay.workshop 🫶🏻

The studio’s running at full tilt right now - hands busy, kiln packed, and something exciting on the horizon…

A quick heads-up: if you’re thinking of gifting any Mud + Maker pieces this Christmas, I’ll only be taking on a limited number of orders. Best to get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.

Thanks for keeping me busy - it means the world to be making work that finds its way into your homes and daily routines 🏺.
