August jugbirds

Here are the other jugbirds that were fired in August. I’ve taken the Flicker, RB Sapsucker, little Blue jb and the taller dark grey one to Circle Craft, with the promise that I’ll get more to them soon! Then a staff member asked if I plan on making some more salty ones. Oh dear, now I’ll feel guilty taking my trip to England instead of throwing some more stoneware.

The English Green Woodpecker, the Puffin, Eagle and Kingfisher are planned for Primavera, in Cambridge. I hope to make several more, both English and exotic within the next week or so.

 

 

 

 

I’d be interested to know which ones you like!

    Hi Gillian, I live in the UK and have just bought one of your jugbirds from Primavera – the great tit, which I love.
    Do you have any more english green woodpeckers?
    Also would you be able to make a Eurasian Golden Oriole with the yellow head?
    Many thanks for your help
    Best Wishes Jill

    Hello Jill,
    How exciting to read that you bought the Great Tit jugbird. So glad you like it. I’d be happy to make another English Green Woodpecker jugbird. I love that bright green. And I’d enjoy painting one to resemble the Eurasian Golden Oriole. I managed to photograph an Oriole on our recent trip to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Sadly we don’t see Orioles (or Cardinals) here in BC. I’m planning on another trip to England this year so can bring these in to Primavera for you.
