Amy Cooper Ceramics is a partnership. Together Gareth and Amy make, create and dream from their garden studio on the beautiful Tresillian River near Truro in Cornwall. Their work is inspired by light, life and stories. Found objects from the sea and shore feed the organic porcelain forms. Dreamlike silhouettes of everyday plants and birds are made magical by the light. The beauty and simplicity of their material is explored and celebrated. The lighting range is made of porcelain, using liquid clay the forms are slipcast in plaster moulds. Each piece is individually altered, either through manipulation when soft and raw or painstakingly stenciled and sandblasted at bisque. The stencils are made from Amy’s drawings, celebrating the flora and fauna of her environment.
