Green Hues – New Pieces in Tones of Summer
In the spirit of summer, explore our collection of pieces in green hues.
Featuring ceramics by Paul Philp, Chloé Rosetta Bell, Derek Wilson & Borja Moronta, glass by Michèle Oberdieck & Celia Dowson and floral sculpture by Shannon Clegg.
Chloé Rosetta Bell
Chloé Rosetta Bell's latest collection of pieces are thrown in a blend of stoneware and wild clay from the landslip below Chloé’s studio. Each is finished with two glazes. The first glaze uses crab and lobster shells which is a by-product of a local fisherman. The second is a seaweed ash glaze using seaweed from the bay below her studio. All materials are sourced by Chloé herself or a local fisherman just below her studio.
Paul Philp
Paul Philp has been making ceramics for over 50 years. his ceramics are hand-built and fired multiple times. Thin layers of slip, organic material and glaze build and strip away to reveal a subtle yet intricate depth in his surfaces. His influences include Japanese MinKa building, architecture, tribal and ancient art, but above all the natural world.
Borja Moronta
Moss Green and Mist Blue Glaze
Each stage of Borja Moronta’s process leads to humble ceramic pieces that condense his upbringing on the northern Spanish coast; its colours, textures and pace. He aims to create calm and neutral minimalistic objects and compositions, following simple forms in a soft tone palette hoping to alleviate the eye.
Michèle Oberdieck
Michèle Oberdieck is drawn to biomorphic shapes found in plant growth and decay such as the delicate forms tulip petals take when making this journey. These beautiful twisted organic shapes reveal the motion of ageing stopped in its tracks. It is this transformation that she aims to capture in the glass.
“I aim to capture movement & character using the fluidity of blown glass by turning away from symmetry, in an attempt to recreate the organic shapes found in nature."
