Hi

Have always had a interest in flowers and plants but only artificial (many years ago had an interior landscaping business) Recently did a course with fresh flowers and loved it. Hopefully will have a wedding to do later this year.

I now run and own a Paint your own Pottery Studio with my 18 year old daughter, and am thinking of combining the two. People can paint there own pots and vases and then I can arrange the flowers/plants in them. We also make unusual ceramic gifts, some based on a Victorian theme. If anyone is interested in stocking some in their shop please let me know.

Our shop is based in Rochester, Kent

Theresa

hi reynard, and welcome to the forum, we dont sell a lot of pottery stuff but thats an interesting idea you have.....making the pots then filling them......I know its a bit morbid but maybe a line of grave pots would go down well? I can see people wanting to do that for a loved one, putting something that they have made, makes it more personal. anyway you've probably already thought of that or maybe your pots arent suitable for outdoors, in which case I am just talking a load of twaddle.......nothing new there

Welcome Reynard

It sounds like you have a good business going on. I do like the idea of filling the pots with flowers.

Would love to take some but I think I am a little far away here in Wales for them to arrive all in one piece!!

As I am new to this site too all I can say at this moment is that everyone seems very friendly and helpful.

Kind regards

LilyLady

Thank you all for your welcome and kind wishes.

I will email some photos to you Tulip, just need to take some better ones. We do supply a couple of gifts shops in Rochester and the mini ceramic cup cakes seem popular.

best wishes to you all

Theresa
