Well, not only am i developing a new range of bags, i have been working with a close friend of mine on a collection of Porcelain bowls and pots. This little sideline came about from a pottery course we both attended….. as an excuse to slope off on a Friday morning for a gossip and relief from the pressures of daily life! What do you think?
Jeannett and I founded ‘One & Eight’ (cockney rhyming slang for ‘plate’) about a year ago. The talented Jeannett is also the owner of http://pippiandme.com Check out her beautiful cards and prints.
This is what we say
With six children between them and a shared love of all things grey, Jeannett and Susie’s long-term friendship evolved into an exciting business venture in 2012. Their interest in Porcelain and its unique properties, combined with a desire to produce a minimalist yet aesthetically pleasing dinnerware set led to the formation of One + Eight.
The individual pieces are made using a slip casting technique, whereby the porcelain is tinted at the slip stage to produce a variety of shades of grey. Clear glaze is then applied to the interior of each piece, creating unique yet functional tableware.
This handmade range fits equally well across minimalist modern and traditional environments.
Website under construction but please contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of these pieces. x
