Meet the Maker - Sheena Spacey Ceramics

From a tiny studio space in her Somerset home, Sheena Spacey creates hand built decorative ceramic bowls, decorations and individual pieces of ceramic and mixed media artwork.

Her work is probably best described as somewhere between a walk in the woods and reading a fairy tale, taking elements from nature and folklore and imprinting those inspirations onto clay, bringing a little bit of nature and wonderland home.

She has a kiln where she fires her ceramics, which include buttons, badges, brooches and tableware.

And her stoneware is smoke fired.

We love her HareMoon bowls.

We discovered her as she supplies one of our other secrets, the Linden Tree in Huntly, but if you don't live in Scotland you won't miss out.  You can see and buy her work on Etsy and Folksy.

Boutique and Unique - the Linden Tree, Huntly, Scotland

It's so exciting to see a new shop brightening up the High Street.  The Linden Tree on the Square in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, must surely be worth a visit.

It opened its doors last Saturday and we wish owners Ingrid and Neil Binning every success.

Many of the crafters and artists have day jobs and spend their evenings producing much of the shop's stock which includes woodwork, cards, jewellery, toys, textiles and ceramics, including these lovely buttons.

And their first featured Artist of the Month is Anne Fenton.
