From contemporary tableware to rustic style soap dishes and feminine jewellery trays, Shevon Gant Ceramics has a beautiful range of products for every room of your home. Unlike mass produced ceramics, these hand built and wheel thrown pieces retain the artist’s personality and inspirations.

I was immediately taken with the jewellery trays. They come in coral and sea green and have a crackled glass bottom and matching ribbon to add a romantic touch. They would look very pretty on a bedside table, or even in the hallway to hold your keys.

And I love the rustic style of the soap dishes. They also come in a range of colours and the bottoms have been carefully smoothed so they don’t leave scratches.

Have a great Bank Holiday and I’ll be back on Tuesday with more innovative independent designers. And if you’re at a loose end over the weekend, don’t the forget the Forum which has been very busy over the last couple of weeks.

These striking pieces have been sculpted by ceramic artist, Amanda Healy. Each piece is fashioned by hand out of clay. After bisque firing they are then decorated with oxides and glaze and finally fired in an electric kiln. As Amanda says, ‘Each sculpture is unique and takes on a life and spirit of its own.’

Each strand of Amanda’s work represents an aspect of her personality. Her rare steeds represent her earthy, wild side and her humorous horsey ladies represent years of being around ‘horsey’ people and talking about horses. The Jinba Ittai collection signifies the harmony and balance between humans and horses.

As well as sculptures, Amanda has produced a beautiful range of cooking pots and bowls in strong earthy tones. This thrown work represents her respect for food.
