Unusual & Contemporary Ceramic Design

Hi I'm Christina and I design and make contemporary Ceramics from my bathroom/studio in Bournemouth on the South Coast

I have several avenues of my work from wall art, lamp bases, seasonal responses to jewellery. Hopefully in time I'll be offering them all through Folksy.

My inspiration comes from all aspects of our natural world, but growing up and living on the coast means the sea is a huge influence on my designs.

Texture is cornerstone of my work and every individual piece is handmade with a beautiful distressed crochet texture and combustible additions, meaning that even as they share a design, each is unique.

I started my craft journey in 2009 when I came back to the UK from living in Oz and decided to 'just do things that make me happy', so simple, so obvious, why hadn't I had that deliberate thought before?!

I enrolled onto two part time BTEC courses, one in ceramics and the other in silversmithing. This led to me completing a Foundation degree in Applied Arts which included ceramics, silver smithing and glass blowing and THEN onto my degree in Ceramics from Cardiff School of Art.

I've made work on and off since then but this year decided to dedicate myself back into it, then Covid came and knocked us all, but what is life without beauty and art? So I'm making again and hoping you feel the same, we'll get through it together and I hope that any work you buy from me helps lift your day, much love,
