Sandra Apperloo’s “The Pottery Parade” Collection is Adorable

Sandra Apperloo, the creator of the blog Artistic Moods and artist, creates these cute plates, pots, and cups that she sells in her Etsy Shop. Her Instagram page, The Pottery Parade, has close to 50k followers right now and we’re not surprised; we fell in love with her work as soon as we saw it.

Apperloo is located in the Netherlands, in the city of Utrecht. As we read on her Instagram page, she’s a “lover of all things artsy and potter at The Pottery Parade.” Right now, there are no available products on her Etsy, but she’s working hard to create a new collection for her many fan followers. We recommend following her on Instagram if you want to get updates about the new collection or simply to enjoy her wonderful art.

What do you think about her work? All we know is that we’d love to have every single piece she’s made so far and some more on top of that! Scroll down to see some of the plates, cups, and pots she made.

When new ceramics are ready I usually have one of two favorite pieces and they are often ones in which I have tried out something different. In the collection that I unloaded from my kiln this morning this little bowl was peeking back at me and I was thrilled with how she turned out! The dots on the leaves took me forever and with pieces like this I always get a bit nervous that something unexpected happens during the firing, but the feeling I get from seeing them like this afterwards is so worth it! 😄 I named her Frederique and she will be included in a new shop update this Sunday at 8 pm, Central European Summer time. The update will include pots only (but I'm hoping to add new jewelry dishes next time!) #ceramics #pottery #handmade #bowl #ceramicart #ceramiclife #loveceramic #homedecor #homedeco #clay

UPDATE: all the pots are now sold. A big thank you to those who made a purchase tonight. A new update will follow soon! There was another delay at Etsy which meant that the items didn't load right away for many people and I'm sorry about that. I'm working hard on getting my own webshop ready and hope to move there soon. Happy Sunday! //// I have added the previews in my Instagram stories and am all ready for tonight's shop update 😄 Looking forward to it! You'll find the link to the shop in my bio. Note: I always publish the items at the exact time that I announce my update but as some of you may have noticed, sometimes there is a delay of a few minutes before the items become visible in the shop. With the update I had last week it took about 8 minutes before they popped on my screen and I understand that this can be frustrating! Unfortunately this is a problem at Etsy that I cannot control so I hope it wont bother us tonight. I am currently setting up a shop and website elsewhere and hope to sell my pots from there soon! Happy Sunday! #potswithcharacter #ceramics #pottery #clay #clayplay #ceramiclife #potterylove #handmade #handpainted #homedecor #forthehome #ceramicart

A favorite from my last collection of pots, called Femke. This girl is sold and now I have started working on long vases and jewelry dishes again. Can't wait to see them when they are finished!! // Also I just wanted to say a few more things about the last shop updates. I know that they have been very hectic and that there have been delays with the listings showing up for lots of people. I'm quite bummed about this. As I have mentioned before I am currently setting up my own website and shop but as I expect that it will still take a bit before it's ready (I'm working on it between my studio moments) any shop updates before then will only be pre announced in my mailing. I hope this will take the pressure off a bit and give people some more time to browse though the items. In case you haven't subscribed yet, you can find a link to the page in my bio (and just so you know, no shop update has been scheduled for this Sunday! I will be announcing a new one next week:) In case that for some reason you can't leave your email on the page, you can send your email at [email protected] and I'll add you to the list. Thank you for your enthusiasm and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend coming up! ❤ (Here in Holland it's raining again and I'm kind of enjoying it 😏) #potswithcharacter #ceramics #pottery #paintedpots #handmade #planter #homedecor #homedeco #clayplay #ceramiclife #facepots
