We’re back with S3 and I’m delighted to welcome our first guest:

Ella has her own ceramics business based just outside Edinburgh @Ellafletcherdesigns. Her mission is ‘bringing joy to the everyday with colourful, handmade ceramics’ and she embodies this in what she creates 🌷💐🎨

⏰Her new website where you’ll be able to buy a whole range of products will be launching Friday 25th April ‼️

That joy & feeling when you choose a favourite mug from the cupboard. I’ve been a fan of her work for a while and it was such a pleasure to chat in Edinburgh 🪄

We cover all the key questions: Ella’s perfect brew, why the colour of the inside of the mug is so important & the art of mug handles ☕️

We also chat about getting inspiration from the Scottish landscape, travel & collaborations with female-owned local Scottish businesses as well as a new contract this year with the National Trust for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
