Reflecting the changing seasons and celebrating our wild birds, tangled hedgerows and leafy woodland.
Michelle is a professional ceramacist and glass mosaic artist based in Teignmouth, Devon. Through observation of the natural world and experimentation she has developed her own distinctive way of working. Michelle makes all her own pieces, a mixture of sprigs, carved clay and imprints from organic forms. Once she has made all the individual pieces the process of bringing them together takes many hours. The aim is to achieve a balanced, but natural appearing composition, capturing the wildness of tangled undergrowth. The finished artworks will reflect the season in which they were made and the wild birds that have been encountered in the garden and on walks in the woods. Michelle has a BA Hons Fine Art degree from UWE (painting & printmaking) and is a qualified FE teacher.
Alongside her claywork, Michelle also specialises in creating compositions with fusible glass components. She makes all the pieces herself by combining fusible glass in different ways and firing at various temperatures. The dichroic glass brings intense colour and has wonderful iridescent, light reflecting properties. These mosaics take several months to make as the pieces are small and fitted very tightly together.
