March is here, and with it, a cosmic nudge for you to pay a little more attention to your pottery collection. Why? Because it’s not just about collecting clay—it’s about collecting soul-soothing experiences. Whether you’re the bold Aries or the dreamy Pisces, there’s a pottery piece out there that speaks to your soul. So, let’s dive into your star sign’s take on life (with a side of clay) and see what the universe has in store for your pottery destiny!

March in Murrumbateman always feels like the perfect blend of chaos and calm—crisp air, the first hints of autumn, and a studio filled with the hum of creativity (and, admittedly, a bit of clay dust everywhere). This year, 2025 is all about intention in pottery. It’s time to embrace the imperfections, celebrate the handmade, and, most importantly, use the pottery we love every single day.

Forget saving that beautiful, handcrafted mug for “special occasions” — potters want you to use it, to sip from it, to make it a part of your daily rituals. Pottery isn’t just for display; it’s a tangible piece of artistry meant to be lived with. And if it gets a little coffee stain on it? Well, that’s part of its charm. 2025 is the year to take pottery off the shelf and into the heart of your everyday life.

For thousands of years, women have shaped more than just clay—they’ve shaped history. From the hands that crafted ancient vessels to the artists redefining ceramics today, their legacy is etched in every fired piece. This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the pioneering women of pottery—past, present, and future—whose creativity and resilience continue to mould the art form we cherish.

Decluttering doesn’t have to be dull or ruthless. It’s about curating a home filled with things you love—pieces that tell a story, not just take up space. Let go of the “one day” mentality, embrace objects with meaning, and create a space that feels like you. Because life is now, and your home should reflect the beauty of living in it. And yes—use the fancy teacups.

Ever wondered what kind of pottery piece matches your mood? Are you a sturdy, no-nonsense tea mug, craving warmth and a second breakfast?

Motherhood is the most beautiful, heart-expanding journey—but it’s also a transformation. Somewhere between the sleepy cuddles, the tiny hands in mine, and the endless snack requests, I realised I’d put my own creativity on pause. That’s when I turned back to clay.

Pottery, like parenting, is a lesson in patience and presence. It reminds me that starting over is okay, that beauty comes from the process, and that making space for myself only deepens the love I pour into my family.

In a world that glorifies speed, there’s something deeply nourishing about slowing down. Here in Murrumbateman, mornings unfold like warm honey—gently, unhurried, and rich with quiet magic.
