Penrhiw Pottery Welsh Hand-Thrown Ceramic Wax Melt Burner- Bali Green
Hand-thrown and glazed by the wonderful Dave and Anouska of Penrhiw Pottery in their studio based in the beautiful Cambrian mountains, these ceramic wax melt burners are individually made by hand in Wales.
Their glazes reflect the natural rugged Welsh scenery around them.
Bali Green is a celebration of the lush green mountains and the golden hues of the sandy beaches.
Each burner comes with 2 removable dishes, allowing you to switch between fragrances when you fancy a change.Includes a free randomly-selected Botanical Soy Wax Melt Pod (16hrs+ of fragrance)
Simply pop your wax melt into the well of a burner, light a 4 hour tealight and place inside.
Please allow the tealight to burn for around 30 seconds before placing inside the burner to allow enough oxygen to the flame and for a melt pool to develop.
* Slight natural colour variations in the glazes can be expected, making each one slightly more individual and unique!
Meet the Makers
Dave and Anouska relocated to rural Mid Wales from Jersey, Channel Islands in 2017.
Surrounded by the wild and ever changing landscape of Ystumtuen, nestled in the Cambrian mountains, they set up their pottery business in the old joinery workshop on the former lead mine, Penrhiw Mine.
Dave has an extensive 25 years of working for Jersey Pottery behind him, 18 of those as Head Thrower, making highly refined gift and domestic homeware made from earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. This alongside 30 years of teaching his craft to adults for the local college.
Anouska has over 10 years experience of working with children and young adults, teaching social and emotional skills through the medium of art and drama. Alongside this, painting for a local artist in Jersey.
Dave and Anouska design all their work together, everything is hand thrown by Dave and hand glazed by Anouska.
Within the studio there is a small showroom where you can view and purchase your very own piece of Penrhiw Pottery.
The Penrhiw Pottery Philosophy
We are passionate about what we do...
We believe pottery, be it on the wheel or hand building (or just watching), has a therapeutic quality that is so effective in this fast and stressful world we live in!
You can't rush pottery...no cutting corners (just turning feet), so this process makes you slow down and relax.
We also believe that our children's generation is one that buys cheap and throws away. We are always hoping that the small bit we do to educate some to a world that is not mass produced, not thrown away, made by hand with love and time that will last and last, will make a difference to how you feel about the mug you drink from...
We want our pottery to be accessible to everyone, hence we price our work competitively so no matter what age you are and what budget you have you can purchase a piece of Penrhiw Pottery.
That accessibility carries over to the making....everyone has creativity, and you can make something of your very own (with a little help if needed!)
