Welcome to Soenchie

Established in 2013 through pure creative curiosity, using clay as my medium I make functional items for both you and your furkids. I hope that you experience joy and comfort from the vessels I lovingly make, one ball of clay at a time.

It’s been a terribly hard week. But today I had a little energy and played in the studio. And it felt good. The sun also helped a lot. ☀️

Just want to say thanks for all the love, patience and support you guys have shown me. I truly appreciate it and am easing back into work, one day at a time.

Be kind to yourselves, and to others please. ☺️🤍

This weekend was one of the hardest I have had in

This weekend was one of the hardest I have had in my life.

We had to say bye to our dearest Rio yesterday and my heart is shattered.

He was such a trooper, a real stubborn little guy.

A year ago (to the day, which is bizarre) he came home from hospital and we were told that he had about two weeks left. He spent another whole year with us, and kept getting better and stronger. He even developed some new quirks like the barking in the video. He would do this to get our attention. On Saturday he just took a turn and stopped eating. We did not want to let him suffer so made the call yesterday.

The huge gaping hole you left will never be filled but I am so grateful that I shared almost 15 years with you. You were my little shadow, so adventurous and always up for a cuddle. I am glad that we took you on holiday just a week ago, where you spent your days in the sun and exploring as you also did.

My mother-in-law said that grief is the price you pay for love, and this is the most painful grief I have felt ever. You were so loved.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out to us, we are taking it one day at a time. ♥️

Hello lovelies! Just wanted to pop in and say I

Hello lovelies!

Just wanted to pop in and say I am back from a wonderful week in nature. Although it seems like it was years ago after the week that has passed.

It’s such a heavy time in the world and in our country right now. I have personally had a big loss due to C*VID this week. So much like everyone, I am just trying to navigate all this and keep on keeping on.

There’s so much to say, but for now I am going to keep trying to find ways in which I can help and make a difference. I will share whatever I think might be helpful if you too can help.

Sending love to you all. Keep safe and keep hope 🤍

Fancy gastronomy or glaze destined for the bin? [

Fancy gastronomy or glaze destined for the bin?

In an effort to waste as little as possible, I have saved all the little left over bits of glaze over the years. I let it dry out and then collect them in a bottle while the original jar goes into recycling. Over time you get quite a fuse of colours all mixed together in little flakes.

So I decided to try this for a custom plate order I received and I have to say, I LOVE IT!

Because glazes change colour in the kiln (chemistry and all that) I really didn’t know what colours were in there. As you can see from the first image, the glaze all looked pretty grey, but the final result was like a beautiful rainbow of colours. All melted, just where they fell.

I would also like to mention, that I will be taking a break for the coming week. Like these specks of glaze I feel a little all over the place (as I am sure all of us are to some extent) so I am heading into nature to put it all back together again 😂

I will check in on here from time to time and look forward to coming back with renewed energy and more creative ideas!

Keep safe, keep warm!

Today I did something a little different as I am waiting for the bisque kiln to cool down.

I went to @eclecticacontemporary specifically to see the work of @melissabarkerceramics up close. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy. It also intrigued me how the art of pottery and weaving tell such a deep story. Please go check out the Containers and Containment posts on Melissa’s page for the descriptions and inspiration behind these beautiful pieces of art.

I am inspired. 😍
