Handmade at Bramley Cottage
Libbi Hutchence creates gorgeous pieces of pottery and woven goodies. She loves to spend her time creating beautiful pieces from natural materials whether it be spinning wool, weaving on a hand loom or sitting at her pottery wheel. After browsing through the website, I was in awe at her ‘facepots’ range. These stunning pots have a variety of different faces on them which would be a great addition to your house and garden. The pottery is stoneware (it is fired at 1200℃) and can be used in freezers, ovens and gardens.
