The shell range evokes both the natural beauty of materials and surfaces and the glamour of a 1930's seaside resort. Modernism and luxury meet in this sculptural range. Beautiful alone or as part of a group these pieces can contain floral arrangements or create a light reflecting focal point.

Tactile hand crafted ceramics with a narrative

There is a definite Alfred Wallis feel to the sgraffito pieces featuring merchant ships, sailing boats, fishing trawlers and all things to do with the sea and coast. Rum cups, pedestal bowls, and jugs have hand painted boats and ships traversing stormy seas or sheltering in tree lined harbours. As each piece is handmade and painted they all have their own character.

The more abstract ‘Shell Range’ is made using slabbed clay decorated with soft grey glazes. These are completed with a final firing with gold or platinum lustre. They have a sculptural quality and work well in groups.
