Based in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, Meriel Chudleigh specialises in creating expressive terracotta slipware and wood-fired stoneware. This pair of mugs is part of her Hedgerow Collection, inspired by winter trees and landscape scenes created by layering cream, blue, and green liquid clay slip over a warm terracotta base before finishing with transparent glaze. Meriel fires a small kiln with native species timber harvested sustainably via local coppice woodland management.
