I discovered Bonchurch Pottery as a child on holiday on the Isle of Wight with my grandparents. We used to take long coastal walks and arrive at the sea-front village, pottery shop and onsite studio.

My links with the IOW go back to when my great-aunt went to the island with her husband as newly-weds on their honeymoon. With a romantic free-spirit they decided never to come back and make Ventor their new home!

I am delighted to have a hand-made plaque for my studio by Andrew Bristow. Andrew’s style is instantly recognisable by the distinctive angled incise cut pattern, with horizontally brushed blue wash.

This was a Christmas gift organised by my auntie Christine.

Bonchurch is also associated with St. Boniface.
