My journey with clay began as a personal search for balance and renewal. After many years in a high pressure financial role I reached a point of burn out. I felt a strong need to reconnect with something more meaningful, something that brought me joy.

I enrolled in a short hand building course. The rest is history.

Working with clay offers me a sense of calm and groundedness. It is a tactile, medatative process that allows me to slow down, be present and express myself without words. Each piece is a reflection of that process, an exploration of form, texture and the quiet beauty of imperfection. Through my work I strive to convey a sense of warmth and authenticity. My self taught practice continues to evolve but the intention remains the same, to create pieces that are not only functional or beautiful but hold a feeling of peace and connection.

I also love to make jewelry, particularly earrings. I have recently found when not working with clay that making earrings also brings me calm and happiness. My new range excites me and I hope you love it too. Happy browsing X Mel
