Every commission begins with a story, a memory, a place, a few treasured words or a moment someone wants to hold onto. Through listening, carving and clay, those stories slowly become something tangible: a piece made by hand, created to become part of a home and the life lived within it.
Sometimes it takes someone else telling your story to remind you why it began. When DRIFT Journal stepped inside the world of Alchemy Tiles, they explored not only the centuries-old craft behind my work, but the memories, conversations and human stories that find their way into every piece I create.
For one special weekend only, my studio is opening its doors to welcome you into a festive world of handcrafted tiles, sculptures, paintings, prints, and Christmas treasures. Perfect for last-minute shoppers, thoughtful gifts, or simply a wander among beautiful creations, there’s something magical waiting for everyone.
Ah, Christmas—the scent of mulled wine, streets lit with fairy lights, and endless debates about when it’s okay to play Mariah Carey (spoiler: it’s always okay). But let’s face it: finding the perfect gift can feel like untangling a string of Christmas lights—frustrating, time-consuming, and often overwhelming.
That’s where Alchemy Tiles comes in. This small, enchanting studio crafts bespoke ceramic decorations and tiles that are more than gifts—they’re memories, stories, and moments to treasure. Whether it’s a personalised ceramic angel, a star etched with a heartfelt quote, or a paw-shaped ornament to honour your furry family member, each piece captures the thoughtfulness and tradition of Christmas.
Give a gift this year that tells a story. Because the best presents aren’t just things—they’re memories waiting to happen.
