Brier And Seller


Amanda Brier

Amanda was born in Portsmouth and studied Art and Design there before fleeing to Cornwall in 1997. However, she was unable to resist her naval (gazing) tendencies and ended up in another notorious port full of seamen, Falmouth. There she took a degree in Studio Ceramics, graduating in the Year Nought (the college computers weren't Y2K compliant!).

She is quoted as saying, "I enjoy making functional, decorative ceramics inspired by the stunning shapes, texture, structure and colour of the nature and countryside around me. The hand painted work of Bernard Leach has always greatly inspired my decoration, especially using animals to give me a range of decorative possibilities."

Shop 'Til you Drop

(Actually, don't drop, because all breakages have to be paid for!).

One good thing you can be guaranteed with a real working pottery is that you are going to get first look at the latest gear. So, if you're filled with crockery consumerism then hit the showroom:-

 More pots than you can shake a stick at.

 More of Amanda's stuff. Love the tiles. I wonder, if she did one with a bunny on could we call it Brier Rabbit!
