Charlotte Bellis

Raised in Snowdonia, Charlotte studied initially at Coleg Menai, before heading to Cumbria Institute of the Arts, where she specialised in ceramics and printed textiles. After period away travelling in the Far East and Europe she returned there to set up her studio in North Wales. Charlotte draws inspiration from the natural world and organic forms, drawing from the scenery of her native North Wales and the scenes and flora seen on her travels abroad. Her signature pieces are hanging sculptures made from porcelain, with colours, shapes and textures evocative of the sea, plants and other natural elements. Each individual element is hand sculpted into a range of shapes, biscuit fired, glazed and then re fired, before it is assembled to hang from steel circular frames.
