Red Point Bowl,Large ,Red Cuillin

Much of the underlying geology in Wester Ross is TorridonianSandstone, its high iron content giving local beaches and soils at Red Point a rust-red colour, and the lochans a rust-red edge. When a rare china-blue sky reflects in those lochans (or even in a puddle), there can be startling burst of colour, pellucid blue graduating in dozens of tones towards earthier shades at the edge. These bowls are deliberately askew, with an exterior of bubbled dark gold. Their rounded bases mean they rock.

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

Clay: Toasted stoneware/earthenware body with a terracotta base

Glaze: Red Cuillin: Heavy Gold Rain exterior and interior edge, a sweep of Island Turquoise, Wedgewood centre

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.
