Shining a light on Rats

Ceramic, hand built, hand painted Rat, holding a light.

I get asked to some interesting commissions and when a lovely client asked me to make her a Rat, I was a little reluctant! However, once he was finished I absolutely fell in love with him.

There are two versions here, one holding an old fashioned bulb on a wire with a plug, and one holding a USB rechargeable heart light. 

These are both sold, but I am in the process of making more so if you would like one please do click on the link below and drop me an email. 

As with all Rats, they dont hang about for long 🤣

Ceramic Tiger head

Hand built and hand painted 

Tigers are the most beautiful majestic animals. They fascinate us with their wonderful markings.

Please do get in touch for more info

Ceramic Sea Turtle

Hand built, hand painted sea turtle

I absolutely loved creating this sea turtle and managed to find a wonderful piece of driftwood for him to sun himself on.

I love the freedom of handpainting the colourful shell and think he would brighten any home. (He takes no looking after either!)

Ceramic horse head

Hand built, hand painted horse head

Horses have always been my go to when creating pieces. From when I first started out as an artist, drawing them and now building them from clay. 

The strength of the horse and the flow of the mane is not an easy capture so when it works - its amazing! 

This piece was not based on any horse in particular, but would look amazing in any home.

Lobster

Hand built, hand painted Lobster on wood

I get asked for all sorts of work but this one took me by surprise! 

Until you make these things you have no idea how intricate these animals are! 

I just love how realistic he has turned out - cant wait to see him in situ.

Ceramic Elephant head

Hand built, hand painted and mounted.

Elephants have always had a place in our hearts. These majestic creatures bring the feeling of power yet they are gentle giants too.

I wanted to incapsulate the elephant in its environment so I painted the background on a beautiful piece of oak. The piece measures 14inches X 16inches with a depth of about 3inches. The oak board is extremely heavy (but bizzarly the Elephant is not 🤣).

This was not a commission so he is available to purchase.

Toby

Hand built ceramic dogs head

I absolutely love the challenge of creating a piece of a loved pet. The challenge is to not only make it as life like as possible but to make it recognisable as the pet in question.

This little dog really challenged me. From the lump of clay to the finished piece. Bringing him to life was an absolute joy.

Its not always easy when you don't know the pet in question but I have it on good authority, I nailed it! 

Get in touch if you would like to discuss your pet project 😉

Dragon head

Hand built ceramic dragon head on wood

I absolutely love the way he has turned out and the client is delighted too. I am super lucky to work in a field so fantasticly varied.

Love Rugby, Love Chess

You need a Rugby Chess Set!

After creating an 'alternative' chess set, my love of Rugby got me thinking. 

So I created a Rugby Chess set! With Rugby balls for Pawns, kicking tees for castles, scrum caps for Bishops and gum shields for knights. The queen has the red and yellow card with a whistle and the king of course has the trophy! 

All set on a wooden hand painted board with the boarders trimmed with grass. 

This sold the minute I finished it! I must admit I am sad to see it go. 

Anyone for a game of chess?

The alternative ceramic chess set.

I had a crazy idea.... everyone loves Gonks, so why not make a Chess set with Gonk characters. Why not indeed!

The Pawns had to be prawns! the knights - of course had to be the knights of NI from Monty Python and I turned the Castles in to Rook feathers (get it?) There is a black set and a white set and they are all sitting happily on a leather chess board from the amazing Chess Baron (www.chessbaron.co.uk).

This set is available to purchase - it is a real one off! so if you fancy something to while away those winter nights - get in touch below.
