Featured Artist - Emma Clegg

Our first glimpse of Emma Clegg's Olympic Egg for the Great Egg Race commissioned for charity.

The inspiration for Emma's work stems from an old Edward Raby piece. It is a tiny wreath, about 6 cms across and consisting only of unglazed porcelain flowers. It was buried for around 40 years under the New Cross in Park Street, Bristol, and on it’s removal was still perfectly in tact.

Olympic Egg

Emma has recently been commissioned to make an egg for 'The Great Egg Hunt' for London 2012 which will be displayed alongside other designers' eggs, including some by Faberge, and then auctioned by Sotheby's having been displayed for 40 days and 40 nights.

Please see opposite a copy of the finished egg and a close up detail of some of the thousands of flowers on this beautiful piece.

We currently have a selection of Emma's other ceramics in the gallery - do come and have a look - they make wonderful gifts.

All of the items that you see here are made of porcelain, and have been made by throwing or hand building techniques. The wild flower range was developed for the Fortnum and Mason’s ‘Hand Made’ exhibition earlier in 2011.
