So here it is…finally…

Phase one of my build is now complete. I’ve requested a detailed phase 2 plan from Ivan the Builder, but at the same time, I’m in exploration phase, so…

If there is anyone in construction or would like to forward this to someone who’s working with new materials, I’m willing to consider all options.

So, welcome to The Potscast and another insight into the weird ins and outs of my life on Saint Lucia.

As you know, pottery is on hiatus while I enjoy my holiday, but it’s also well known that a potter never strays too far from her wheel 😁

Have a great week everyone

So this week, it‘s all about the mugs and despite the fact that I couldn’t manage to make myself a mug before, I was able to easily make Ladera 14 of them 🤦🏽‍♀️

I also added my battle of the jugs, if you’ve already seen it on social media fast forward to around 7.30mins once it starts 😉

Have a great week!

So, I had a little rethink and realised I was making things far too complicated. So I simplified.

The short (3min) announcement is below along with a YouTube link in case you would like to share it.

Also down below is a video of my filthy set-up, I‘ll eventually tidy up I promise 😳

I look forward to welcoming you to Saint Lucia

Have a great week.

My morning coffee routine

So here we are, I’m finally launching my pottery retreat package on the gorgeous island of Saint Lucia.

For full details and to purchase your package, click the button below.

I look forward to seeing you on The island

The Pottery Bit 😁

The Lola Bit - She’s getting Bougie

This week on the Potscast, I put the whole, ‘are you sure your eyes are working Amanda, they look pastel to me’ debate to bed once and for all

I’m not going crazy, they are definitely bright 🤣

On the building front, turns out I missed a step, luckily my lovely builder knows exactly what he’s doing.

Have a great week everyone

2 random fruits for you

So I got a surprise this week, turns out there’s another British-Saint Lucian potter on the island 😁

So of course, when he came to visit, I got my recording gear out.

A thousand apologies for the sound distortions, I’m still getting used to my new microphones and I didn’t realise there were issues until Cisco had left. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Update videos below, have a great week

By the way, the early early bird price for the pottery retreats ends on 21st March as phase one will be complete so if you want a Pottery Retreat in 2026 at the lowest price you have until the 21st March!
