Residency & Supper Club by Ceramic Artist Chloé Rosetta Bell

19th May - 30th June 2022

A collection based upon a residency with Flow in Wales developing glazes from the seaweed, mussel shells and the chalk residue produced from washing Halen Môn’s sea salt. This is a progression from the tableware Chloé created for Sosban & The Old Butchers, a Michelin starred restaurant in Anglesey, which celebrated their local supplier Halen Môn.

“The sea salt Halen Môn make is really special. It's incredibly pure and so carefully made on Anglesey. The residue left when they wash their salt is a concentrated chalky paste that I thought I might be able to use. The glaze has this matte surface from the mussel shells, but you have these touches of purple and green that sort of bleed down the forms. The ferociousness of the salt when in the kiln eats the surface of the glaze. You can really see the impact of the glaze meeting the mussel shells on the kiln shelf. I hope you enjoy the kind of peaceful chaos that my pieces have.”
