Lochan Dish, Turquoise Pool

D 21 cm 

One of Mimi’s first pieces featuring layered glazes to achieve a painterly effect. There’s something about this dish that makes you want to dive into the pool beneath the crescent moon. A plate for treats, like gooey cheese and crackers, eaten alone in front of the telly.

All pieces are hand-built and so have deliberate irregularities and unintentional asymmetries. Sizes approximate.

Clay: White St Thomas Stoneware

Glaze: Rusty Mottle, Island Turquoise, transparent gloss

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.
