Suffolk Fishermen Collection

Chloé Rosetta bell

Ceramic artist, Chloé Rosetta Bell’s practice examines the livelihoods dependent on a specific landscape. For her latest collection, we invited Chloé to the Suffolk coast to meet fishermen, fishmongers and fish smokers. She observed and responded to their land, honoring their materials and tools of trade. The collection celebrates their craft and draws attention to their passion.

Each piece Is thrown in stoneware and finished with a slip and glaze. The slip is formed of porcelain and waste crab shells from the local fishermen and glazes with ash from the Traditional Smokehouses.
