Tamzin Lurlay’s pottery is a collection of beautiful, handmade tableware and home goods created in small batches using sustainable materials and practices. Each piece is a one-of-one, a uniquely functional work of art designed to feed both body and soul.

Her functional pieces are an artistic pushback against a culture of overconsumption and a celebration of the art found in everyday objects. Each piece is an invitation to develop an appreciation of the mundane objects we use everyday.

Lurlay’s figurative pieces explore the body as language, a new form of communication that transcends traditional concepts. Using clay to embody the full spectrum of human emotion, Lurlay’s simplified, slightly distorted figures are both a physical representation of the human mind-body connection and a means of exploring her own humanity. 

“There is no greater opportunity for appreciating beauty than through its use in our daily lives”
