    Made in Britain · by Bethan Lowri Hughes Jones|14-day returns

    Sitting on Baile an Bhiataigh beach in County Meath, Ireland, I sketched the wandering rooks as they strode curiously across the sand, studying the tourists. Their humorous sideward glances caught my attention, and I wanted to capture their expression in my tile design.

    Cerameg Traed Bran

    Bethan Lowri Hughes Jones carves a pattern into wet clay, floods the hollow with coloured slip, then scrapes the surface back to find out whether it worked. She works in Welsh, from a studio at Fireworks Clay Studios in Cardiff, and she will teach you the method as well as sell you the result.

    • Hands scraping back slip decoration on a large ceramic vessel covered in Welsh text
    • A hand painting Welsh words onto a clay slab in red and white slip
    • Hands decorating a ceramic disc at an outdoor bench beside an open sketchbook and two bowls
    • Bethan walking into the entrance passage of a grass-covered Neolithic chambered tomb
    • Spiral carvings cut into a weathered stone at the Loughcrew Neolithic complex
    • Bethan outside Oriel Myrddin gallery holding two of her decorated porcelain bowls
