Elevate Your Space with Exquisite Handcrafted Ceramics

From my studio in the picturesque village of Riebeek West, South Africa, I create elegant, handcrafted ceramic homeware that combines artistic refinement with timeless beauty.

Under the watchful eye of my loyal Labrador, Della, every piece is crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail, ensuring each item is a unique work of art.

DELLA'S DARING - DECOR COLLECTION

Della's Daring range is exactly that, making the extraordinary out of the ordinary. These are one-off pieces, never to be repeated. They may be similar but never the same. Clay is an incredibly versatile material and it can do just about anything. I have always been fascinated by the incorporation of natural elements with clay vessels, like sticks, seeds, thorn branches and natural cottons. I have a few obsessions that have been lifelong, one of them is obviously clay, the other is the wonders of South Africa's iconic flora: the lucky bean tree and thorn trees. I was fascinated by these things as a child and I still am. After all, it is often said that the land is a being that remembers everything, and my work reveals this deep connection with the earth.
