Your small brand SPECIAL - 25% off!
Pretzel pottery. Pretzel power. Is there any other way to take your coffee? Exclusive to Studio B, this is a super special treat (*you've got another one later this month too).
Morning.
Coffee?
In your favourite cup? Yes please. Ahh, that’s better.
Oh, have I been waiting to give you this small brand special from a very sweet small maker. And when I say small, I mean hand makes - that’s designing, throwing, firing, glazing - all her original small batch ceramics in a shared ceramic studio in East London.
I mean, the dream, right? Well, it would be if I had the patience and the skill!
On that note Suzy actually runs classes and hosts workshop events too; so if we did fancy a malbec and a make, a coffee and creativity, a wine and a wheel (pottery wheel that is) have a look at what’s coming up on her site - We Are Clay.
Right, I’ll get on with it, this is Suzy and she makes my favourite favourite (EVER) coffee cups. Yes I am now mid thirties and this is a thing - who knew ten years ago the perfect size, perfect look, perfect pretzel handle little vessel would bring me so much J O Y !
But, it genuinely does. And who knew I’d transfer from always being a Northern tea drinking gal (still love a cuppa don’t get me wrong) to a morning coffee kinda WOMAN. Gosh, I’m grown up 😂
See how cute it is! I had Suzy make these for me last year, in this perfect flat white size.
The generous soul that I am I also had a set made for a friend’s birthday - how nice a gift do these make? If I do say so myself. Especially for the person who has everything / an abundance of divine interior items (friend, you know who you are!).
I actually discovered the pretzel pottery thanks to one of the nicest hair appointments I’ve ever had, at Studio Rue. Which was also a new discovery to me earlier last year when they opened at Containerville along *Hackney’s Regents Canal.
* Practically opposite (across the canal) Cafe Cecilia, which I always recommend. The crispy sage fritti. Onglet. Deep fried bread-n-butter pud. Now I’m hungry (my god DO get the chips too).
I usually strongly dislike having my hair done, I just don’t find it particularly relaxing, having suffered with alopecia most my life (since age fourteen). Basically, I just feel like I have crap hair and am never transformed into Sienna Miller as I like to envisage 😂
BUT Taylor is so warm, so knowledgable and the lovely little space she’s created with Studio Rue feels so calm and intimate (max two customers at a time, you don’t realise how nice that actually is) - it’s amazing what you can do with a shipping container!
It just feels fresh, modern and that bit more special, you know? As always no #ad I just genuinely would recommend @studio_rue_. When I’ve been to Taylor it really has been the best my hair’s looked / felt in a long time.
RIGHT! Back to the pottery!
