Cornish Ceramics by Michelle Foote
Working on her traditional Leach kick wheel from her garden studio near her home town of St Ives, Michelle Foote creates work inspired by her immediate environment with a heavy emphasis on pattern and texture. She lives between the coast and a nature reserve and often utilises found natural and man-made objects such as pebbles, an old fisherman’s knife or shells to add designs and interest to her pots.

Crackle Beaker - Cornish Ceramics

Burn Out
Ceramic Plant Pots
Porcelain paper clay plant pots handcrafted to emulate decay, erosion and fragility, complete with cacti. Paper clay is much stronger than ordinary clay due to the addition of cellulose paper fibres. It is designed for creating impossible shapes as the paper fibres avoid the formation of cracks and formation issues. The fibres burn out during firing and, once fired, it becomes lighter than traditional porcelain. £25 Purchase at Inspire Makers, Falmouth, Cornwall, or online.

Elegant wheel thrown porcelain bottle decorated with a black geometric “sgraffito” pattern and delicate orange highlights.

Sarah is inspired to create glazes or surfaces where layers build curiosity and interest so at some point the qualities of the original porcelain or clay body will be apparent. £70-75
