Norwich-based ceramicist Emily Mitchell creates work that tells stories. Raised in a home steeped in ceramics, she found her path early. Her hand-built and wheel-thrown pieces blend function with feeling, drawing inspiration from historic objects, literature and the quiet poetry of the everyday. Shapes are familiar but gently skewed, surfaces layered with slip and glaze, and often detailed with painterly or impressed motifs—touches that lend each piece a sense of narrative and nostalgia. Whether destined for the table or the shelf, her beautifully textured vases hum with the quiet confidence of the handmade.
