## about me I live in Wellington, New Zealand, in a small cozy home with Jaime (daughter), Bolt (canine companion), Remy and Emile (rat companions). My first experience with clay was in July 2023, at Karla Marie Ceramics, an inner city studio in Wellington. I fell so madly in love with pottery that a month after my first wheel taster class I bought my own pottery wheel. This is me in my cozy studio where I craft small batches of pottery, each piece made with care and love. I hope they bring you as much joy as I felt creating them. ![[at the wheel square.png]] ## about my work Most of the things I make are intended for functional use at the table or in the kitchen. Each piece has gone through a prototype stage where I experiment with form and glaze, and then use it in the kitchen or at the table. Follow me on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/pottery_by_laila) where I post more regularly. ![[Side plate 04.jpeg]]![[Butterbell 02.jpeg]] ## where to find things here - I'm currently doing is on my [[now]] page. - Pieces I have recently made are in [[+ current collections|collections]].
