Carys Boyle

Carys Boyle produces a range interior accessories, jewellery and buttons using porcelain. She sells her work in galleries and boutique shops around the country and on 'Not on the High Street.com'.

Her inspiration for these minimalist forms comes from the coastal environment. She is interested in how the sea affects objects found on the shore and photographs and sketches these to design her work. She is particularly drawn to the organic forms of driftwood, the smooth contours of pebbles and the patterns created by seaweed left on sand and rocks. Slip casting is used as a starting point, and then the forms are slip trailed and manipulated to create pieces that are a lot stronger than their delicate appearance.

She works from her North Wales Studio just a few miles from Chester.
