Celia Wood’s Spring Collection

We are launching Celia Wood’s joyful new Spring collection.

"For this Spring Collection, I wanted to capture the freshness and energy that arrives with the changing season. After exploring Spring poetry, including Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales Prologue, I was drawn to themes of joy and renewal. These ideas led me towards vibrant tones, loose and flowing florals, and compositions that feel alive with movement. 

Alongside poetry, French Quimper pottery became my main illustrative influence. Its folk-art style closely aligns with my own love of storytelling through ceramics. I really resonated with the celebration of labouring the land and honouring every day rural life shown through simple illustrations. In response, each dinner plate adopts the Quimper structure: an individual figure framed within a border of flowers and foliage. 

With matching side plates and a host of other ceramics, I hope to bring some Spring joy through this collection. "
