These are some of my favourite pieces that I still have in stock. The wall hangers on the first photo were particularly fun to make, they were born from random doodles on a page!

The silly season is upon us! If you like gifting things and would like to support local and handmade, I have a couple of events in Wellington city before Christmas:
The first one is a pop up makers market at Double Tree by Hilton. I'll have a selection of pieces there on the 13th, 14th, 20th & 21st

Saw some Jomon pottery at Kyoto Museum today. All of these things are about 4,000 years old, if not more! So cool!

Dear New Zealanders, are soft-boiled dippy eggs with soldiers a thing here? I'm thinking it could be fun to make egg holders, but not sure if it's worth it if no one eats eggs like this. Picture to illustrate what I mean

Each year we design a set of five Christmas cards. here's the 2025 edition. Riso printed in aqua and red on nice thick 300gsm paper by Earthbound Press.

Photo of some Christmas cards flat on a dark blue surface. They are risograph printed in light blue and red on white paper. Each one features an illustration of cute characters doing Christmassy things: a cat in a snowman costume, a person walking in the snow with a dog, two dogs on a sledge, a cat knitting by a fire and a cat looking at a bauble.

I wrote about Silicon Valley’s mad new AI religion and how it (not superintelligence!) is a *real* existential threat, drawing on the work of @adambecker.bsky.social, @edzitron.com and others. www.webworm.co/newgods

I know that tiny hairline crack is going to turn much bigger in the firing, so it's getting recycled while I can still save the clay!
Thankfully this is the only one from the batch thay developed a crack while drying

Hey #BOTY #Kikorangi, just a reminder from Peppy that I have a LOT of native bird enamel pins and sticker designs...while I may not have EVERY bird, I do give a portion of profits to Trees That Count every month.

Snag some goodies, support a local artist, and celebrate birds! pepperraccoon.com

Our bearded dragon, Tobi, knows that spring is just around the corner! She is slowly waking up from her months long sleep, it's so good to see her cute face again 🧡

I got my partner to take portraits of me for something coming out later this year, and I reckon he did pretty well! ☺️
Here is me, holding my favourite pieces, the Doodle Series

I'm experimenting with making clay stamps to texture my clay. It's not particularly easy, but I'm keen to explore this more as I love using textures in my work!

A photo of textured clay. There are different patterns, some that resemble flowers, some that are more geometric.

For people who have handcrafted items in your home, what is your favourite thing about them? Is it a detail, a feature, how it makes you feel?

I handed over my final assignments for the Tikanga course I was doing with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa! I have learnt so many cool things, and I am now looking forward to a bit of a break!
I'm hoping to chanel that extra time into more creative things 😊

I've always wanted to make a Triceratops but was always intimidated by them. But I finally did it and I'm so proud of how this piece turned out! ✨💖

If you’ve ever wanted to get one of my Queer Community Against Fascism design on a tee, NOW YOU CAN!

With money going to Welly Pride, snag my design or one of any of the other amazing designs by cool local artists!
wellingtonpride.bsky.social Wellington Pride Festival I Tū whakahīhī e Te Whanganui-ā-Tara @wellingtonpride.bsky.social · Jul 29
Wear your Pride on your chest (or head!) with our new range of merch. We asked a bunch of local artists what Pride looks like to them, and the results are glorious! Each purchase is shared 50/50 between us & the artist. Range of styles & colours, sizes S to 5XL wellingtonpride.digitees.co.nz
Text that says "Wear your Pōneke Pride" and images of three different t-shirts, and the WPF logo in the bottom corner. The t-shirts say "QUEER COMMUNITY AGAINST FACISM - Our love is never in vain" and "Queers for Palestine" Two more t-shirts - one features the word "Proud" surrounded by icons of rainbows, cellphones, cherries and other things, and the other has a tiger face with the word "Fierce" on it. The WPF logo is in the bottom corner. Two more t-shirts - one features a cartoon fat cat riding a pink motorcycle with a Progressive Pride flag flying behind it, and the other features a sassy frog in a pink hat on a rainbow background.
