Porcelain delight for June

I must be missing playing with clay, because this is the third time I am teaming up with a ceramicist to run a competition. 

I'd like to introduce you to Yon Kavvas, the creative maker of Claybird Ceramics.  Yon has been playing with clay on and off for 10 years now. She studied hand building, slab and slip casting techniques using all three methods when making her porcelain ceramic range. Her designs are fresh and simple and have a genuine handmade quality. The bowls emblazoned with gold lustre are especially beautiful.

Yon has a studio in Auckland, New Zealand and I have seen her lovely work first hand at local markets. 

To see her work for yourself, visit her website http://www.claybird.co.nz/ and follow her on Instagram. Yon visits markets and has products in stores all over New Zealand including Little Beehive Co-op(Nelson), Hapa (Christchurch), Madame Fancy Pants (Wellington), Black Barn (Hawkes Bay), The Mandarin Tree (Gordonton),  Mixt (Auckland), The MarketNZ (online), Alex and Corban Home (online) and a few more to come.

This month, you could win a lovely spotted spoon made by Yon by joining in my IG monthly photo challenge. To celebrate her lovely design, I am bringing back the popular #thespoonseries tag again!
