Emma Godden Ceramics

My inspiration comes from nature, including wildflowers and seed-heads in the local countryside, as well as plants and birds in my garden. I hand sculpt garden ornaments, with a focus on making each piece slightly different and unique. My bronze glaze highlights their shape and catches the sunlight. They are fired to a high stoneware temperature to ensure that the pieces are frost resistant. To create my hanging bird decorations and vases, I combine lino printing with clay. The end piece is tactile due to the impressed relief of the lino cut, so to fully appreciate them you need to pick them up and touch them. All of my pieces are made by hand in my garden studio. I also run one day workshops where you will create your own set of ornaments for your garden, please visit my website for available dates and more information www.EmmaGoddenCeramics.com
