The start of something new.
Time to explore and expand.
Time to play and create.
Time to let all the ideas running through my mind find their physical forms.
Time to exhale and just be.
Time to let more love flow out,
so that more love can flow back in.

much love

Where do I even begin…the last three days have been a whirlwind. In fact it’s been the ‘perfect storm’.

My heart is full. Bursting at the seams to be honest.
I sold every single piece. All my babies have found their forever homes & I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

The energy, kindness, generosity, unwavering support & love that a Jozi crowd brings is second to none.
Truly untouchable🫶🏽

This event was not even on my calendar at the start of 2026.
It entered my orbit in mid January. The brief was simple, an event for women, supporting women, celebrating women while honouring a charity very close to our hostess’ heart:

I immediately said yes.
It also meant a surge of adrenaline because a 5 week lead time meant a high speed ceramic sprint to the finish line.
I wanted to bring new pieces, new glazes, a new look & feel.

Our original date had to be pushed back by a week because of heavy rain warnings. Thankfully most of our invited guests & shoppers did not mind. All 75 of my babies were packed & ready to be couriered, I simply had to changed my flights.

I landed on Thursday & had to ask myself if I was at OR Tambo or Heathrow. Dark clouds & endless showers everywhere.
I naively thought surely after pushing the event because of the weather we would be rewarded with clear skies.

Oh no, Jozi threw a full storming tantrum ALL day Friday.

At that point REAL panic set in. I think God got tired of hearing us all praying for no rain, because not only did the rain stop, the sun came out & stayed with us all day🙏🏽

Guests arrived early, everyone excited to shop & mingle in the sunshine.
I started the day with 3 trestle tables full of ceramics.
Then it became 2. Soon after that it was 1, then none.

By midday more than half my pieces were gone, felt like the right moment to celebrate with some bubbles. Don’t judge me, it was 12:05🤭

By 4pm it was time to pack up, expect there was nothing left to pack. I rolled up my 2 branded tablecloths, my Xoxopottery ribbon & my wooden displays, looked up at the sky, exhaled & said thank you God🙏🏽

It really was a ‘Spectacular Affair’.
Thank you so much
Let’s do it again💋✌🏼📍

Slip is clay returned to water.
Clay softened back into possibility, and by now you know how much I LOVE possibility…

It’s what we call “clay glue” in the studio, but it’s more intimate than that. It the joiner, it’s the fixer… it’s the unsung hero.

It’s the sound of dry shards cracking between my fingers.
The quiet surrender of something hardened.
Powder meeting water.
Resistance dissolving.
I’ll never truly admit how much time I spend doing this, it heals something in my soul when I do.

Slip is what binds one piece of clay to another, it allows separate forms to become whole.
First you scoring a little by roughening the edges or area you need to join, it’s like a little ‘honesty’ before the union to ensure
the joining is real and not just ‘surface deep.’

On my work bench, it looks simple.
A jar of muddy liquid.
But it holds everything together, some days it holds ME together.

Slip is proof that even what has dried out can be broken down
and made useful again.

Clay glue, yes.
But also a reminder nothing is ever truly wasted in this process.

If you’re a creative person, you’ve probably been told
you’re “a lot” or maybe just “too much”.

But that’s one of the biggest lies you’ll ever hear.

You don’t feel too much.
You just absorb more detail and nuance than others.
You experience life deeply.

When all that input starts to feel overwhelming,
it has to go somewhere.
It can’t just stay bottled up inside.

So you turn it into words, music, art or stories.
You Create because you haveto.
Creative work is how you make sense of your life and that’s exactly what makes the art worth making.

In reality, the process is much more demanding.
In the beginning, your skill level won’t match your taste.
To get started, you have to be willing to produce work
that isn’t “good” yet. This is the only way to gain experience.

This is when the work tests you.
If it isn’t “good” yet it feels safer to start something new
than to face the possibility of feedback.
As long as it’s unfinished, nobody can tell you it isn’t good enough.

By pushing through the difficult parts,
you build more capacity for your own effort and stop seeing feedback as a reflection of your worth.
You realise that you can handle frustration without giving up.
Because your spark doesn’t always look the same.
It evolves with every season of your life.
Keep evolving, keep shining… 🫶🏽

Thank you for these beautiful photographs & supporting my business from the very beginning. 💋

When I say handmade…I mean by my hands.
Not somebody else’s.

Every evil eye painted by me.

No factories.
No shortcuts.

My clay.
My brush.
Because I care. 🧿

Perhaps the most important thing in life is for each person to stay headed in their right direction, within their assigned place, where their souls feels peace and stability, on their version of TerraFerma.
I have found mine. 
I have found solid ground.🫶🏼

Learning to PIVOT has been my lesson this week.
I’ve also come to realise what a control freak I am 🤭

Plans shifted.
Timelines moved.
The edges of things needed gentle reworking.
Nothing fell apart.
It simply reshaped itself….and I lived to tell the tail🤭

Clay and my business teaches me this again and again…

You can resist the change
or you can move with it. I moved with it .. and I’m proud of myself because ordinarily it would’ve derailed me.
I would’ve fixated over it… I would’ve replayed a million scenarios in my head… until one made sense.

This week, I chose to move.
Gracefully. Quietly. Patiently. Softly.
Sjoe, I feel grown up 😂
