The Whistleblower—A monthly dispatch from the studio, the garden and the slightly sleep-deprived heart behind it all.

Dear future Whistler,

Let’s skip the formalities. This isn’t your average newsletter.

This is the letter I’d write you if we were curled up in a corner booth with mismatched mugs and too many layers on, swapping stories about what we’re making, what we’re growing, and what on earth that weird noise in the kiln was last night.

It’s a peek behind the scenes at Whistle & Page — the real stuff. The chaos, the creativity, the commissions, the cake. The wins, the wobbles, and the wild things growing (both in the garden and in my sketchbook).

Here’s what you’ll get, once a month, like clockwork (but way more fun):

Studio Secrets
What’s on the wheel, what cracked in the bisque, and how I turned a failed glaze into something deliciously moody. The full story — mess and all.

Early Access + Secret Surprises
Be the first to know when new collections drop, workshops launch, or I’ve accidentally made something too lovely to keep to myself.

The Gentle Creative Prompt
One soft nudge a month to get your hands moving or your ideas flowing. Maybe it’s a phrase, a colour, a memory. No pressure, just play.

Monthly Giveaway
Each month, one Whistler gets a handmade gift straight from the studio — a one-of-a-kind piece of pottery, artwork, or some other small treasure. No hoops. Just by being here, you’re in.

Seasonal Ramblings
Updates from The Hyland Hills — what's blooming, what I’ve accidentally over-planted, what the sourdough’s up to, and whether Wilfred has learned to sit yet (doubtful).

Whistle & Page After Dark
Okay not like that, but I do tell you what I’m reading, watching, and listening to. Expect everything from YA fantasy and 19th-century literature to Thomas & Friends, Eminem, and possibly some Taylor Swift (against my will). I'm equal parts cottagecore and chaos.

Bookshops, Bakes & Beautiful Things
From second-hand bookstore adventures to rosemary olive loaves and children’s book illustrations in progress, I share the little things that keep me going — and creating — when life feels like a spinning wheel of “what next?”

Sound like your cup of hot brown?

Then come join the family.
This newsletter is handmade, just like everything else I do. Thoughtfully shaped. A little uneven. Often glazed in optimism. Always full of heart.

It lands in your inbox on the last Friday of every month at 10:30am AEST.
You bring the tea. I’ll bring the stories.
