‘Cabin Vibe’ was a name I gave to my first ful ‘Cabin Vibe’ was a name I gave to my first fully ‘functional series’ of pieces that I started in 2016 - before that, here in Canada, I had mainly made embossed vases with deer, owls and bears etc taking centre stage.
There’s been some variations along the way - mostly simplifying - and now here we are with this large 4 cup tea pot and mug in whites and off whites and ‘lineny’ type neutral colours looking lovely!
