Shirley creates wall hung and freestanding sculptures and shadow frames, using white earthenware to hand form flower components, small creatures, birds and fish. Texture is embossed into the surface. Under glazes and oxides are applied to give layers of colour. These are then assembled together with driftwood, wire, reclaimed maps, vintage magazines and other interesting […]

I graduated from Falmouth College of Arts with an honours degree in Contemporary Crafts, where after experimenting with many materials I gravitated towards ceramics and its endless possibilities. I have since moved to Buckinghamshire where I have set up my studio at home creating handcrafted ceramics, mostly functional, inspired by the natural world and my love of entomology. All of my work is foodsafe, microwave and dishwasher safe.

I design ceramic jewellery and art inspired by the natural world. I have a lifelong passion for nature and creating beautiful things. After many years of study on a variety of ceramics, jewellery and printing courses this passion has been the inspiration for Sparkle Ceramics and Jewellery. My jewellery combines textural ceramics with translucent glass, for my wall pieces I work with a variety of photographic and drawn images. Prices for jewellery start from £14, framed wall art starts at £35. All my designs are unique and handmade with love here in England. Please pop over to my website and browse, I am happy to take commissions if you would like to contact me with your details.

I am a self taught ceramicist specialising in wheel-thrown porcelain. My pieces range from large vessels to delicate tea light holders. My current Seascape range is influenced by the ocean, crashing waves and the ever expansive skies. I’m attempting to create drama whilst not over complicating the piece, somehow allowing the object to remain quiet yet […]

I handbuild with porcelain and stoneware. I generally make small, sculptural elephants, who are often seen in unlikely situations. Most of the time they are acting out a phrase or sentence, and I play with ideas of scale and gravity to add a comical air to the pieces.

I also make elephants with fabric-inspired patterns, and the occasional figure or vessel.

I studied Ceramic Design and Central Saint Martin’s, London, graduating in 2007. My current price range is £27 to £370.

I produce single fired, earthenware pottery. My work is wheel thrown and handmade using a loose slab making technique.

My work is loosely made and decorated, and imperfections, for me, are to be celebrated. I concentrate on individual pieces but make sets of plates cups, beakers which are similar. Pots are slip and sgraffito decorated.

My work is to be used, made for food and drink and I hope it will be fun and unusual.

I work from my studio in Dorset, specialising in creating wheel thrown detailed, unique ceramic pieces decorated with my own coloured clay slips, carving and sgraffito.

The slips and techniques I use have developed over the years, supported by a love of ceramics that was kindled at art college and matured while working at a pottery.

My work has evolved to create a very distinctive style, inspired by the natural world as well as The Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau and several different artists.

Whilst studying for my degree in Norway my main Ceramics tutor told us not to attempt using the potter’s wheel during our studies as he insisted the course did not allow us enough hours practice to master the craft. Being a typical student, I felt extremely provoked by this statement. Determined to prove him wrong […]

VanillaKiln is a studio boutique with porcelain jewellery and ceramics by artisan Jude Winnall. Everything is individually and skillfully hand crafted in a fusion of sculptural form and innovative design.

The main jewellery collection is an evolving one inspired by an affinity with fabric. Lined in a glossy celadon blue glaze, the range is reminiscent of fresh white linen featuring gathers, rolls and folds.

The ceramics are equally artistic with freeform, contemporary styling. There are lots of beautiful and useful pieces in store with the option of some superb gift packaging. If you love to give, browse the VanillaKiln boutique where you will be spoilt for choice.

I make slipcast ceramics, both functional and decorative. Decoration is subtle crackle glazes with highlights of coloured lustres.

I add vintage imagery and patterns as ceramic transfers.

Do get in touch.

My ceramics are an eclectic amalgamation of nostalgic form and imagery ranging from teapots and cups to jewellery, as well as one-off larger pieces incorporating precious stones, metal and found objects. I use a combination of slip casting and hand building techniques to create pieces in my signature style. Their surface decoration includes slip painting, […]

Wendy Tournay is an award winning Ceramic Designer/Maker specialising in Contemporary Luxury Fine Bone China Giftware. Inspired by the ethos of Scandinavian design with its functionality, honesty of materials and simplicity, her work is primarily focused on creating perfectly handmade functional pieces with simple clean lines and an elegant silhouette.

She models each new shape in solid plaster and from this she makes a mould. Each handmade piece is slip-cast in fine bone china, fettled, dried and fired. A glossy transparent glaze is applied before second firing to enhance the pure clean lines.

Pricing ranges from £5 for a Hanging Decoration to £100 for a Coffee Pot.

We are ZAN+ME – professional illustrator Zanna, an Association of Illustrators member, and linguist turned ceramicist Mecki, member of the Craft Potters Association.

Inspired by the beauty of nature and the power of storytelling, we create illustrated ceramics that suggest nature scenes and narratives through sensitive use of texture, colour and imagery.

Much is thrown on Mecki’s wheel, some pieces are hand-built and/or altered after throwing. Zanna’s original illustrations add the finishing touch.

Designed to be functional as well as beautiful, our ceramics are to offer a safe space in our busy lives – from the first pick-me-up in the morning to the last drink before sleep.
