Eli Paulger
Based in Milton Keynes at the Saramica Community Pottery, Eli had been making for five years but had never shown his work before showing with us.
Each of his wheel-thrown pieces is a one-off, carefully crafted in Stoneware or Porcelain.
Mostly vases, they are simple forms with smooth surfaces and crisp corners.
Sometimes Eli adds lines or geometric designs, which he complements by the use of white or clear matte glazes.
Eli’s work is now available at The Good Earth
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 were proud to stock items from James' "Wet 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.
Mary Chappelhow
The beautiful stoneware ceramics of Cumbria based Mary Chappelhow.
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.
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.
