Amelia Tuttiett Single Candlestick | Blue with Bird
Amelia Tuttiett is a wonderful ceramicist and painter from the Hampshire countryside in the UK and I am thrilled to have found her work. The charm drew me in immediately, and I am hooked! She recreates characters from the outdoors and I have grown to love each and every one of them.
"Living and working among the Hampshire countryside is a never-ending source of delight and I try to convey some of the joy I find into my work.
Ā I studied Fine Art and University, but swiftly returned to my original love - clay, not long after leaving and have been working with it and oil paint ever since. Ā I find them curiously similar, as I often apply oil paint with my fingers smearing it into the board and scraping marks with my nails. Ā My hands are a disgrace subsequently!
Ā I spend time both walking and riding and this quiet observation of the natural world informs my work. Ā I never fail to feel happy after I have spent time outside and hope that some of this delight is transferred into my work. Ā I also have always made up stories in my head and that is where the long and involved titles spring from."
