Ceramic clocks for HOUSE

I was selected to exhibit in HOUSE, County Hall Pottery's curated exhibition celebrating contemporary ceramic design for the home. Bringing together artists from around the world, the exhibition explored how ceramics can shape our everyday living spaces through objects that are both functional and sculptural.

For the exhibition, I created a series of ceramic wall clocks that reimagined a familiar household object as a playful, hand-crafted sculpture. At a time when we rely more than ever on digital screens to tell the time, I wanted to celebrate the decorative presence of the traditional wall clock and restore it as an object that brings character, joy and conversation into the home.

Inspired by the storytelling of folk art and the bold colours and playful aesthetics of the early 2000s, each clock was individually hand-built, with no two pieces alike. Functional clock mechanisms were fitted to the reverse, allowing each work to exist as both a working timepiece and a sculptural ceramic object—an invitation to pause, smile, and enjoy the passing of time.
