Michelle uses a mix of handbuilt, press mould and thrown techniques, creating work that is tactile and visually pleasing. Lines and text are inscribed into the surfaces and slips and oxides applied.
Her functional work embodies both utility and content, acting simultaneously as art pieces, whilst complementing the food that’s eaten from them.
‘Grasping the Orient’ was born from the visual and mental impact Japan had on her. The circle and cross imagery represents how experiences are carried with you throughout your life and never really have a cut off point, due to them infiltrating the past, present and future.
‘ Youmeco’ celebrates the social time of eating and drinking, spending time with the people you care for. Available in a vibrant blue or green slip, these pieces incorporate text, derived from poems written about special people.
