Description
This unique piece was handbuilt by Siobhan Miles-Moore in the Miles-Moore Ceramics Studio at Brathay Hall in the beautiful English Lake District. Siobhan calls her spherical and semi spherical forms Microcosms, because all of them represent wider stories or responses. They explore perspective, encouraging us to consider internal and external surfaces and our favourite view of this intersection. Hipping Hall style pieces use Heamatite Iron Ore from the Florence Mine in Egremont for exterior decoration and the interior is gilded with Copper Leaf. This combination has become known as the Hipping Hall Style because this gorgeous restaurant on the Yorkshire/Cumbria/Lancashire border selected it for their tables, The dining room at Hipping Hall was originally a Blacksmith’s; where iron was formed in the copper glow of forge, a great example of how Miles-Moore Ceramics use materials to tell stories about a sense of place
