The first bogle appeared when  I painted a cat on the handle of a lid instead of recycling it.

As a result, my range now includes jugs, brooches, tea-light holders, and illustrations. My aim is to combine bold design with a touch of humour.

All my pottery is thrown in white earthenware, individually hand decorated with black underglaze, and fired to 1120 degrees after being dipped in a transparent glaze.

The name comes from a creature in folklore. A bogle is a household spirit whose only purpose is to mystify its human neighbours.
