We all know that at reetsweet we love a splash of colour, a bit of humour, sillyness and fashion in our handmade - but you know what we also love? Sheer prettiness...The Art Salon specialises in one of a kind homewares - all with a high fashion, super pretty finish.
They've just opened at Redbrick Mill in Batley where 'the work on display is inspired by a love of decorative art, objects and design. All objects and artworks are lovingly handmade by Rebecca Appleby with selected items exhibited by other designer-makers...'
The aim is to create a gallery-shop that showcases a varied and continually changing selection of original, unique pieces, and you can catch these pieces in Leeds city centre in the buzz of Christmas at reetsweet on Dec 7th. Hurrah!
I'd say we are all romantics at reetsweet, not necessarily soppy, hearts & kisses romantics, but we all enjoy a bit romance and wonder, and another thing we all love is ceramics...we are so glad to introduce to you Sarah Morris-Jones with her stunning feel-good ceramic collection...
'I love to make things with clay and I love to collect spoons!!
I have been making ceramic spoons for quite some time now...some are
earthy, dark and chunky, like some ancient artefact dug up from the
ground...others are made from delicate porcelain clay, with a vintage
teatime appeal to them.
Sarah Jones-Morris Ceramics began when I completed my
ceramics degree in 2001. Since then I have continued to work creatively
as well as working as an art technician in a school. I have designed and created a collection of ceramic spoons,
inspiration has been drawn from my welsh heritage and the tradition of
giving hand carved love spoons as a token of love and affection. Each
spoon is modelled by hand and then embellished with surface pattern
before being fired, then glazed and fired again. The spoons are sold individually or displayed in decorated box frames.
There is also the option to have the spoons personalised, creating an
individual and unique gift ideal for weddings, anniversaries,
christenings, birthdays and many other occasions.
My collection also includes a range of porcelain tea lights, each one
handmade and unique. Choose from antique lace or dotty design. Both
produce a lovely effect when lit from within and look beautiful
displayed in the home. I also have a selection of smaller items available which include
decorative ceramic love hearts and birds, which can also be
personalised. An ideal smaller gift or decoration for the home.'
You can view her online store at 'not on the high street' or come see her at our next event april 6th, Leeds Corn Exchange.
