Ceramist Julie's designs prove that ceramics don't have to be boring or painfully and self-consciously stylish. Her cute little cupcakes successful tread the narrow line of contemporary kitsch, avoiding 'tacky' to the left and desperate to the right. This pleasing little range offers something handmade and 'different' at a very accessible price point. To achieve it working with such a time-honoured (and under-represented) craft is all the more reason to shortlist her entry.
Julie Pettitt is a ceramist working from her studio in Essex, England. She works with porcelain slip which she colours with her personally developed soft pastel shades of blue, yellow, green, pale pink and dark pink.
These totally scrummy ceramic cupcakes created by Julie are just perfect for keeping your favorite treasures inside. They make an ideal present for almost any occasion; birthdays, wedding favours or just as a treat to a special someone. They measure approximately 11cm across and 10cm high and are adorned with a glossy cherry. If cherries aren't your thing why not try some liquorice allsorts, a strawberry or some Dolly mixtures? Or if like me you can't decide, collect them all. Yum! Available in selection of five different lid colours.
