Last week we had a lovely creative day at Joy Butlers studio in Wales. We used ceramic paints to decorate reclaimed china pieces and of course there was lots of tea and cake as usual.
Using ink and water to create unique designs
Close up details of the paintings, we loved the vibrant colours.
A box full of foraged mushrooms picked from the surrounding hills.
We had lunch outside and luckily the sun was shining for us!
There were lots of pretty flower boxes everywhere
Tea anyone? The ceilings were full of rows of antique teacups, what a great idea!
Around the workshop
Joy’s daughter Ruth makes beautiful jewellery out of the reclaimed teacups and plates.
The garden was amazing, there were so many pretty flowers everywhere!
Joy’s lovely house and studio
Afternoon tea and biscuits, because you can never have too much tea!
We made little concertina books full of ideas and we loved using the vibrant inks.
Thank you to Ruth and Joy for a lovely day out, we had such an inspiring time!
