Welcome to the World of Pottery - Happy World Pottery Day!

Happy World Pottery Day! We are delighted to share this day with you and our amazing potters and ceramicists. Handmade, lifelong treasures in the form of pottery have always been a focal point for us at Creative & Brave. We love relishing in the process and time that making pottery involves, and are constantly amazed at how the final products turn out. Pieces made in this way are so, so special. They exude character and quirk and transform the special places they end up in, no matter how small. 

Join us in marvelling over some of our favourite dreamy creations.
