Artists & Brands

Ali comes from a background of graphic design and has always drawn and designed. She loves colour and the energy of random lines or marks, from a sketch, painting or found on stones or peeling paint and how just a simple line can completely change the feeling of a piece.

Ali’s work is a collection of thrown, uncluttered porcelain forms in a variety of colours and marks but always with her signature background of white porcelain and red maker’s mark.

She throws and turns the pieces to a fine finish which, when unglazed and sanded, gives the porcelain a paper-like, tactile quality. Drawing on her design background she applies stains, oxides and slips, splashing or sponging away areas and inlaying lines with movement and spontaneity. Most decorating is done on the wheel to try and capture that feeling of movement on a static object and some pieces have the impression of endless landscape paintings wrapping around them.

​

She is one of the world’s most respected fused glass designers. Working from her Cornwall studio, Jo’s work draws inspiration from the beautiful coastal landscape while her advanced fusion techniques allow for the creation of abstract designs of great individuality and depth.

Along with her popular range of handmade giftware and statement interior pieces such as wall panels and art frames, Jo has developed her studio to undertake large architectural and interior projects. This unique facility and her innovative designs have earned her commissions for cruise liners, churches, hotels and corporate headquarters.

 

She has also enjoyed hundreds of private commissions, producing windows, mirrors, wall panels and other artworks for a variety of homes.

Selin is passionate about craft, anything handmade and creating things.

​

She says, "One of my fondest memories of my childhood is wearing clothes that my mom knitted. Many years later, in a way to connect with her, I started knitting using her needles. I was hooked for life, when I started receiving orders I turned my hobby into a small business and 'KnitbyTessa' was born."

​

When she discovers clay sets with her daughter, she couldn’t resist incorporating her knitter-side into her creations hence the braid details. Now she has started another business, Elisette.
