Julia Davey Ceramics

Welcome to my store. I am Julia Davey and I set up my small ceramics business after graduating from university in 2007. It has taken three years to get a studio, plenty of moulds cast and two kilns up and running, but I am now a full time maker. I work from my small studio by the canal in Bath and specialise in designing and making slip cast earthenware tableware in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Each piece is hand decorated by myself so no two items are quite the same, it is the tiny variations in transfer placement and painting that make each piece individual and special. Whether it is for that early morning coffee or to display a special posy of flowers I want everyone who uses the item to know it is unique and to enjoy it daily. I also hope that in each item customers can find relevance to their own experiences and memories through its imagery.

Themes running through my work vary greatly as I am continuously inspired by the events, places and objects that I encounter. One day it is flamingos at the zoo and the next a bee trapped in my garden shed. Dashes of silver or gold lustre on each item add a decadence and help to highlight certain details.

High quality, affordable and contemporary ceramic pieces for friends and family to enjoy on any occasion.
