Melissa Hurst is a Bruton-based ceramicist. She works with porcelain to create delicately simple bowls and vessels, whose flowing structure is overwhelmingly natural and organic. She thrives on the challenge of working with this unpredictable medium. Her process is a true collaboration with the clay - guiding its shape into beautiful forms, she places her trust in the porcelain body, allowing it to dictate the movement and then finessing the final piece. Her collection is constantly evolving and she is never happier than when covered in the chaos of the clay.
