Large Moon Pot, Spindrift

An un-spherical round vase, formed on a buoy found washed up on the beach in Wester Ross. Glazed delicately to suggest the spindrift trails left by the sea as the tide goes out.

Mimi’s hand-built stoneware pieces are inspired by her love of the seashore on the south coast, and of the more rugged north-west coast of Scotland. Following a successful career as a fashion journalist, magazine editor and non-fiction author (she wrote the best-selling 5:2 Fast Diet with Dr Michael Mosley), Mimi has now found her happy place making beautiful ceramics in Hove.

Some are functional, others more sculptural - but all are eroded by hand as if by the elements, in the colours of the ocean and the earth. This is the first time her works have been exhibited.
