The Potscast

This week on The Potscast, I finally deliver my Ladera order.

I’ve decided to do my delivery video slightly different this time. Plus I show you the results of my post order fun day coffee warmer and I talk about chillies.

My whale-searching trip is below.

Have a great week everyone.

Searching for Whales

It’s not guaranteed!

I know what I said I would bring, however, this week on The Potscast, I’m ecstatic to present to you the full* collection.

I’ll be able to deliver 2 weeks earlier than scheduled😁

Yes, I’m a ninja 🤣🤣🤣

FAQ video for the Pottery retreat is below and you won’t believe what Lola did this week in the Bonus video.

*I still have a couple of bits to re-make

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!

Mug Throwing in real time

Feel free to discuss my throwing technique in the comments 😁

Finishing off a Mug

Full disclosure, this isn’t the heart shaped mug above, this is a different one, but I thought you’d like to see what I do the day after throwing…

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.

I have decided to separate the Pottery Retreats from the building work and instead guarantee you use of the apartment we have here and my current studio, yes the one you see in my videos, don’t worry, I promise I’ll tidy up before you visit 😁

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

I look forward to seeing you on The island

Building Update

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!

Heard on MSNBC - Did he say what I think he said??? 👀

So the week didn’t start off well…👀

I had a big clay splash that hit BOTH eyes.

And before anyone says ANYTHING,

No

I can’t wear goggles, we’ve been through this, people… 😁

The building work is coming along well, button below if you want to get the earlybird special offer on the Pottery Retreat

Bonus for ENFs - It’s Just Different Seasoning!

Warning

I do drop at least 4 F-bombs in this episode, so brace yourselves! 😳

This week, I take you through the many occurrences on the island. And as a special delight for a pottery podcast, I actually have some pottery for you 😁

I went to the land on Monday morning to see building work start, yes, serious déja vu… 👀

Now that work has commenced, just a quick reminder that the early bird special for Pottery Retreats in 2026 is open.

In case you’re wondering, “But what is the ‘Pipe technique’, Amanda?”

Next week, it’s onto the side plates or little Ricks (with a non-silent p 😁) so look forward to that 😁

Bonus for ENFs - Fun with Lola

This week I give you a quick update on the fly, while making errands in Vieux Fort. Sorry you only get the inside of a car, but I have put a Lola video below as penance.

Proper Update next week, I promise 😇
