Shino Cup

€54.00

Made in the UK by Amelia Brokenbrow, the Shino Cup is thrown on the wheel in porcellaneous stoneware and glazed in shino marked with iron pigment. The shino shifts in tone during two days in a wood kiln, while the iron marks give a loose rhythm to the surface. Chance in the firing makes each cup unique.

ABOUT THE CRAFTER

Amelia Brokenbrow is a potter based in Brighton, UK, working with porcelain tableware and sculpture. She studied Fine Art before training in studio pottery at Clay College in Stoke-on-Trent, where porcelain became her main material.

She takes inspiration from traditional craft techniques such as basketry, and works with brushwork on her surfaces, bringing imperfect pattern and leaving space for chance.

The selection at Crafters of Today brings together cups and a vase in porcelain and porcellaneous stoneware, each marked by hand and wood-fired for two days.

Made by independent women crafters

Women play an important role in shaping contemporary craft, carrying knowledge and traditions forward while finding new ways to work with them. By supporting their independent practices, we help this knowledge continue to grow, evolve, and remain part of contemporary life.

Traditional techniques

The pieces in this selection are thrown on the wheel and marked by hand with brushwork, slip and sgraffito, then wood-fired for two days. These are long-established methods, reinterpreted through Amelia’s own practice.

Small editions and unique pieces

Our selection includes one of a kind works, small batch productions, and made to order pieces shaped through slower and more thoughtful production processes.
