Each pottery illustration is handdrawn, and “I literally have no idea what I’m going to do,” she says, although whales are her most popular design. “I like mermaids, too, because they can be doing something. Crows are relatively new, but they’ve been one of my most successful designs. Like mermaids, they’re very expressive.”

There is, of course, the matter of her studio’s namesake. “When I’m doing a show, if I don’t have any flying pigs, people always ask for them.” This naming, too, was a matter of serendipity.

“I was sitting around with my girlfriends, drinking a glass of wine. They were saying, ‘What are we going to call Tessa’s pottery?’ At the time, I put a lot of flying pigs on my pottery—things that made me laugh. It seemed perfect.”
