About the Maker
This collection features white clay pressed with flowers and foliage from the garden and hedgerows in Wales. Once dry, I paint the impressions with cobalt oxide or mazarine blue; bisque fire and glaze with a glossy, food safe glaze and fire again. These ‘impresssions’, with their often startling detail, inform many of the designs in my other collections.
Zuleika Melluish has always immersed herself in the decorative arts with particular fascination in the Arts and Crafts movement, and Persian painting, craft and pottery. After many explorations working with different forms and medium, it was her first pottery class a few years ago that left her smitten: 'Little could beat the age-old alchemy that takes what is essentially earth and transforms it into a useful and beautiful object.' Zuleika found that in working with clay she could blend and experiment with the themes that she liked best within the visual arts, allowing her to use her interests in surface decoration and artistry to create functional pieces.
She now focuses on ceramics full time, making one-off and small batch ceramics from her studio in Kentish Town, London.

Kirsty Adam’s work is both functional and holds aesthetic meaning, retaining the spontaneity and delicacy intrinsic to making on the potters’ wheel. A Japanese comb tool is used to create and enhance the throwing lines. Her Icelandic collection is the culmination of a research trip to Iceland to express the ‘otherworldliness’ of the landscape.
Kirsty is an award-winning ceramicist currently working from her studio in Newcastle upon Tyne. She originally trained at Brighton Art College and then on the potters’ wheel in Japan. She has developed a personal approach to throwing on the wheel using porcelain clay, to produce unique pieces for the home.
