I make ceramic plaques which faithfully reproduce the front of your house and some of the garden. The plaque is "L" shaped looked at end on so that it is free standing. The size does not exceed 9" long by 5" deep by 7" high, naturally depending on the overall shape of the building. The plaque is handbuilt in white earthenware clay in my studio pottery. It will be three dimensional. After kiln firing, the plaque will be decorated with special acrylics and given three coats of sealant to protect the colours.

In addition to houses, I have been commissioned to build shops, pubs, restaurants and hotels. It is preferable if the building is detached but I am willing to consider attached buildings.

Sometimes families or groups club together to commission me to make a building for a significant occasion such as retirement or an anniversary or moving home. All I need is a set of photographs to begin work on your building.

The plaque can stand on a shelf or mantelpiece or it could be displayed in a china cabinet or with 'Lilliput' style house models.

It will be a treasure fo ever and is the ideal gift for the person who loves their home, or other particular building.
