Ms. Birdie

We love these miniature pieces but don’t know very much about the maker, Anastasia, other than she is from Russia.  She writes that she is an artist, dreamer and jewelry maker.  She works in many forms of media from illustration and photography to making ceramics . Her jewelry’s made from a variety of materials, flume, porcelain, epoxy resin, clay to name a few.  Travel, nature, color, birds, simplicity, love, kindness, sky and earth are her inspirations.

You can follow the artist on Facebook and on Instagram.  Some of her pieces can be purchased in Etsy, Ms. Birdie Shop.

Elizabeth Price

British ceramic sculptor Elizabeth Price was trained as an art teacher but it wasn’t until her forties that she finally took formal artistic training.  She attended art school and eventually set up a home studio.  She has exhibited solo and in group shows, undertaken installations and many individual commissions.  In her bio she describes her work as follows: 

“I mainly create figures. I love the shapes that human bodies make and the stories they tell. Using a visual language of gesture and stance – for example, the tilt of a neck or the set of the shoulders – I try to express a state of mind or a moment in a narrative. The results can be serious, light-hearted, ambiguous, enigmatic. Ideas either come in a flash or develop over time, prompted by people-watching, conversations, perhaps a mere phrase.”

The artist can be followed here on her website.

Georgina Warne

Georgina Warne creates animals and birds, handmade in stoneware or porcelain.  She is a ceramicist and printmaker and often combines both practices as well as hand painting directly on to the clay.  She draws her inspiration not only from the British countryside but from folk art, folk songs and poetry as well. On her website the UK-based artist states that she is “drawn by details, qualities and subtle colors”.
