Product description
These creatures began because while I live in a city, I am always looking for birds and animals, watching them and thinking we share characteristics. Add my love of folk tales, that also attach human attributes and powers and consider this during lockdown, trying to keep loved ones safe from an unseen danger, when our physical and mental health seemed under attack, while at the same time the natural world improved, cleaner, louder, less polluted.
This is the world the Caretaker Birds emerged into, sharing their own brand of joy, encouraging us to breath a bit deeper, nurture widely and take care.
Background Information about Beverley Seth
I make pots inspired by nature and our involvement with it.
I live and work in Sheffield and I think it influences me in the things I make. Sheffield is a city but crammed with green spaces, big parks, tree lined streets and little envelopes of wild hidden here and there. So this is where I see the most regular sightings of nature and wildlife. Not so much rolling hills but trees, birds and people.
Running through everything I make is a story; songs, old folktales, animal legends and things I just make up as I walk places. This then finds its way onto boxes, jars, whatever I can adapt and then just tiny bird models. I love decorating pieces so will always try to just add another leaf, a clump of berries or carve the surface. More nature, more fun.
