Crafted by hand, our ceramics are created as functional art to enrich life’s daily rituals.
“There is no distinction between beauty and use: if it is useful it is beautiful and vice versa”
WE DESIGN AND CREATE
Ceramic vessels to use everyday on your table, in your home and in your garden.

RITUALS
MEANING AND CONNECTION
From the earliest human history, clay was used for expression in ritual objects and to provide containers and utensils for everyday needs. It is an immense privilege to be part of the “homecoming” of the human psyche in the current greater appreciation and understanding of the value of the handmade object. So, when you use your favourite cup for your morning tea or coffee ritual, you are partaking in this ancient, but contemporary tradition of ceramics’ ritual use, adding great meaning and connection to life through these small pleasures.
clay talks
Corinne’s clay objects, infused with heart and soul through the hand making process, touch on our daily lives in ways that few other expressions of creativity can. In today’s world, where individuals feel like a number, this connection to the spirit of another, is an antidote to the soulless industrial and technological world of the 21st century.
The depth of communication that hand crafted ceramics is capable of, leaves Corinne feeling she makes a fundamental contribution to life’s fullness.
