Penny Simpson has studied ceramics around the world and holds regular exhibitions in Japan amongst other places. She’s good, and very passionate in a quiet way about her craft — a real traditional artisan who will probably carry on learning and experimenting until they pry the clay out of her hands. And she offers value for money — she doesn’t do hugely expensive art objects, she makes affordable, useable heart-full objects that will fit on your table or your sideboard. She’ll also welcome you with a tea and a talk about all the qualities of ceramics she so admires — and as you buy you can see her workshop and meet a true craftswoman.
