Mountain Bowl 1 (Beinn Eighe)

Delicate marbled stoneware bowl, formed on a pebble from Wester Ross, unglazed

26 x 24 x 6cm

Mimi’s hand-built stoneware pieces are inspired by her love of the seashore on the south coast, and of the more rugged coasts of north-west Scotland and the Outer Isles. 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 now makes beautiful ceramics in Hove and Wester Ross.

Some are functional, others more sculptural - but all are one-offs, eroded by hand as if by the elements, in the colours of the ocean and the earth. 

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