    Creator & Workshop FacilitatorPot Heads
    Bristol, United KingdomFreelance
    Pot Heads are lovingly hand crafted earthenware beings, each with their own unique personality and botanical hairstyle… I started creating The Pot Heads during my time at Fired Up ceramics, where initially the idea of the simple plant pot with facial features and a plant for it's hair was a focus for a group activity and a fun workshop. The Pot Heads have been growing in population since then and now I enjoy creating and selling my colourful plant-loving pals, as well as facilitating workshops for people to enjoy creating their own! I have a studio in St Werburghs, Bristol where the Pot Heads are based and I offer community and private workshops, which you can book through my website at www.potheadshop.co.uk
