They say: Thrown in a Cumbrian garden studio overlooking green fields, Fiona May's ceramics are intended to be engaged with and used daily; to be functional but also special, and to enhance everyday experiences.

Fiona's work marries a minimalist palette with textural glazes and expressive brushwork to create calming and comforting pieces with a wink and a smile. This size is perfect for coffee.

Meet the maker:
All Fiona May Ceramics are wheel thrown; inspired by the local landscape, travels further afield, and the maker's favourite artists and ceramicists. The artist particularly loves the natural contrast between exposed clay and glazed surfaces, as well as utilising glaze as a decorative brush-applied medium, gratified by the unpredictability of each brushstroke and the resulting individuality of the finished piece. Fiona May enjoys creating simple & clean designs, but also the expressive use of the brush as a tool to elevate the form of each piece through complementary designs, confidently - and sympathetically - applied.
