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.

OUR STORY
In the market town of WOODBRIDGE, SUFFOLK, on CHURCH STREET is a double fronted Georgian shop, hiding a 16th Century merchant’s house. Within this beautiful building, layered with merchant’s tales and trading, we opened The Merchant’s Table shop in 2018.
Our shop is open Wednesday - Saturday, 10.30am - 5pm.
Special collections are launched with unique sensory supper clubs.
