Details
An intricately patterned, handcrafted dish created with layers of hand coloured Blue, combination*, and white stoneware clay.
The colours and forms I include in my collections are inspired by water, sky and my local landscape. I use the grounding quality of clay to explore ideas of flow, balance and connection to nature. Circles will often feature in my work as a symbol of continuity and the cycle of seasons and nature.
Each dish is handmade by me, in my garden studio in East Oxford using Nerikomi - a traditional Japanese technique of layering coloured clay and slicing through to reveal patterns. They're fired twice and glazed with a smooth gloss clear glaze. They are all completely unique and individual pieces and the one you receive may differ slightly from the image shown.
Gifting
Each one comes wrapped in recycled tissue paper, and tied with black and white string, so it’s all ready for gifting – perfect as a housewarming or birthday present. The dishes could be used as a trinket dish for jewellery, for snacks and nibbles, or just for display.

Sustainability
It is important to me as a maker to consider the environmental impact of my work. This is an ongoing process and I'm always looking for new ways to reduce the environmental impact of my work. When sending out my ceramics, all packaging is plastic -free. You can find out details of everything I currently have in place here.
Please do contact me if you have any questions.
*Combination clay is a beautiful recycled mix of white and coloured stoneware clay. It's slightly different with every batch, ranging from a soft marble to light grey.
