Apostrophe Ceramics
James Moffatt lives and works in Milton Keynes, making thrown functional tableware and homeware, which are inspired by nature, travel and contrast.
​
Previously James worked as an interior designer in both London and Los Angeles, and simplicity is the constant in his work.
​
L'Atelier11 are proud to stock items from James' "West Sands" range inspired by the saturated sand as the tide goes out along the shore. Also the "Galliformes" range inspired by the quails egg shell, each with its own pattern.
​
Come and meet James in our Private Viewing evening on the 8th November when this range will launch.

Mary Chappelhow
The beautiful stoneware ceramics of Cumbria based Mary Chappelhow are now available.
​
We think Mary’s work sits beautifully alongside that of Robyn Hardyman’s.
​
Mary has written a book “Thrown Pottery Techniques Revealed” as well as setting a Guinness World Record for the most pots thrown on the potter’s wheel in an hour.
​
Mary uses a variety of stoneware and porcelain clays and a range of firing temperatures to create her range of decorative bowls, vases and table ware.

Contact us for more details or to arrange a private viewing.

Robyn Hardyman
Robyn was the first Ceramicist we invited to L’Atelier11. She works with porcelain, making functional and decorative wheel-thrown vessels – bowls, vases, moon jars and more.
Elegance and balance define the pared back simplicity of her work. She is drawn to porcelain’s combination of delicacy and strength, and the pure surface it offers for glazes.
The pieces are thrown to a fine and delicate finish. She relishes exploring glaze colours and textures that complement the restrained forms.
Her colour palette is cool – blues, greys, pale greens and creams – calming and harmonious.
​
Robyn also enjoys the effect of her work gathered in groups, the shapes and shadows between the forms, and the relationship between their colours and textures.
