Our very first arrangement pairs the quiet elegance of winter hellebores with the timeless, lush romance of Old English roses. They are nestled perfectly inside a beautiful, hand-crafted stoneware vase from DSTUDIO Pottery.
We believe in blending nature's organic forms with artisan craftsmanship. These bell-shaped hellebores bring a touch of woodland magic, while the fragrant roses add classic romance.
Follow our journey as we share floral artistry, seasonal blooms, and a deep love for all things botanical. 🌸
There’s something deeply grounding about a kiln day—the slow build of heat, the crackle of wood, the quiet anticipation as flames do their work 🔥
This firing felt extra special. The kiln burned beautifully, everything fell into rhythm… and of course, Enzo made sure morale stayed high with his expert supervision (and well-timed cuddles 🐾). Not sure we could’ve done it without his “assistance.”
Moments like these—mud, fire, patience, and a loyal companion—are what it’s all about.

Really pleased with the results of my latest firing. A “toasty” firing reaching cone 11. Lots of red clay slip and ash glaze. #woodfiredkilns #woodfiring #nzceramic #aucklandstudiopotters #matakanapottery
