Emma Clegg - current work

Make an enquiry

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.

Emma's own work is decorated with 3 dimensional porcelain flowers and berries, giving the appearance of fragility and following the theme of vanitas, but by contradiction, the work is actually very robust as it is fired to 1260 degrees centigrade.

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.

Emma's studio is in the old Blacksmiths forge in a village in the North Cotswolds.
