Exceptional clay art from South Africa. Carefully curated collection of unique early pieces from Ardmore studio : Ceramics are made by local artists, extraordinary people from KwaZulu-Natal, who are given training, and then collaborate in a studio under the guidance of Ardmore founder, Fée Halsted. Each piece of Ardmore Ceramics begins as earthenware clay from a quarry beneath the ancient soils of Gauteng, South Africa. The paints used are specialist underglazed paints, chosen for the way the kiln-firing process brings out their vividness and vibrancy. Each piece is the work of at least two and often three members of the Ardmore Studio – artists and sculptors who have worked closely together for years and developed an instinctive understanding of each other’s creative vision.
