If you are looking for a unique decoration piece or quirky vase that will bring a smile to your face every time you look at it, then make sure to check out the works by ceramic artist Helen Burgess.
In her own words, Burgess creates “handmade ceramic silliness.” Her ceramic figurines and vessels are everything but ordinary. They usually feature animals with expressive faces, unexpected gestures, and disproportional body parts. Each looks like it has its own personality, and they are absolutely charming.
According to Burgess, she has an “obsession for animals, usually the weirder and more obscure.” This made them a natural subject when she started doing ceramics as a hobby in 2010.
Despite being a self-taught artist, she quickly mastered the practice and found her unique style. Eventually, her creations found an audience, and she decided to start a business called “nosey mungo” to give people the opportunity to own them.
Nowadays, every new collection Burgess creates is quickly sold out, but fans of her work don’t need to worry about missing out on her pieces.
“Being forever curious about nature will always give me new creative inspiration,” Burgess shares on her website.
