The ‘foxed’ Story

‘foxed’ is a one woman maker of things, using wild and commercial clays to hand build unique items for your home & garden.

I spend my days collecting clay, making ceramics by hand building the pieces and everything associated with running a small independent business. I don’t own a wheel and most likely never will. I gather small amounts of ‘wild clay’ from the surrounding forests, hills and rivers in Scotland, always from beautiful locations. It is processed in the studio at the farmhouse on the hill, mainly during the summer when it’s warm and good for drying large buckets of gathered clay, removing the large stones and organic material in preparation for use. The process is labour intensive, to prepare, dry, wedge and ready the materials to be suitable enough to work with. When you buy ‘foxed’ work you know that you’re buying something uniquely special, never mass produced and only made in small batches.

Note: Not all work is made using ‘wild clay’, some items are made from stoneware or earthenware, this will be advised in the items description.
