Friday Favorite: Helen Beard Ceramics
Helen Beard is a watercolor and ceramics genius. I adore her work.
What’s not to love? Her work is one-of-a-kind.
I’m scooting out the door to a client meeting. I’m working on her kitchen right now and am looking for accessories, like these, to dress the room. The project is winding up, so I’m looking forward to having a bit more time to write more posts. Stay tuned.
Helen Beard Ceramics
I recently discovered the beautiful ceramics designed by a true master. Helen Beard hails from the UK. Her work has been exhibited in museums throughout Europe, and is in the permanent collection of two.
Helen makes everything herself starting with vessels made of Limoge porcelain. These become the canvases for her watercolor motifs.
Her current work includes a collection of swimmers and another of birds. How do you choose? They’re both so lovely.
You can find her cups here in the US at Ashes and Milk. Prices start at $150.
If a set isn’t in your budget, one of these would look beautiful as part of a tablescape. Place one on a bookshelf, or use it as a pencil holder.
