Connie Taylor Ceramics, a local business that has been creating bespoke, handmade ceramics for over three years, is set to move into a new home in Oakham.

Connie Taylor Ceramics, based out of Victoria Hall on Oakham High Street, has been in business in Oakham for three years. Through her support of local causes, collection of unique and handmade products, and open house policy at her store and workshop, she has won the hearts of the local community.

Since opening at Victoria Hall, she has created and sold hundreds of mugs, which are one of her most popular items, as well as wine charms, jewellery, bowls, Christmas decorations, jugs, vases and decorative items, as well as commissions for residents in and around Rutland.

She has also been an enthusiastic champion of Rachel and Jay at Prickleback Urchin Hedgehog Rescue, and creates hedgehog mugs, charms and more, with a cut of the proceeds going to the Rutland-based rescue.

Now, Connie is looking to relocate her business, and has just announced the news that she will be moving to Mill Street in September of this year.

Connie will be moving in to 1 Mill Street, Oakham, the former home of Sew Ab Fab, joining a host of creative and independent businesses along the shopping street.

Connie said: "The new shop will be right in the centre of town and I'm still going to be accessible to local folk and my loyal supporters. Here, I'm also going to be more visible to people visiting our quirky little town. 

"I'll be moving at the beginning of September, and in the meantime, I'm going to potter my little heart out to fill all these gorgeous windows."

For now, residents can find Connie at Victoria Hall, Oakham High Street, although the local creative will be taking a well-earned break from 4 - 29 July to spend time with her family over the summer.

In the meantime, take a peek at Connie's range of summertime favourites, including a new range of jewellery perfect for brightening up your wardrobe this summer:
