Happiness isn’t There it’s Here.

    “More straight-talking Butterflies. Nuggets of wisdom delivered so effortlessly and beautifully. “Tell it straight, tell it fast and move on!” – Edward Enninful. I am beyond thrilled with the colour combination on this harvest jug. Sometimes the stars align and they have here, the brown clay underneath the glaze has given the overall colour a vibrancy and warmth I haven’t achieved before. When making ceramics it can often feel like having a mystery collaborator in the process. They bring the unknown alchemy – the chemistry, the kiln, the environment, it all feeds into the final piece.”

    -Vicky Lindo

    About Vicky Lindo and Bill Brookes

    Vicky Lindo and Bill Brookes

    Vicky Lindo and Bill Brookes are inspired by traditional English slipware pottery and images that Lindo describes as anything from a funny story heard on the radio, heroic animals, a pattern on an antique rug or a beautiful old tree in the local park.
