Emma Birts

Emma was born in London in 1979 and has spent most of her life in Bath. Following an Art Foundation course at the University of the West of England (1998-1999) Emma went on to study Graphic Design at Bournemouth Art Institute, graduating in 2002.

Brought up surrounded by dogs, cats and other animals, these characters have inspired Emma's work and imagination. She produces a range of jewellery, prints and ceramics. Emma aims to produce fun, quirky and affordable art for adults and children. Every piece is individually crafted to ensure each character has a different personality!

Artists Emma admires include Maurice Sendak, Sheila McIness, Quentin Blake and Yoshitomo Nara. She takes inspiration from children's book illustrators, Japanese culture and packaging.

Emma has lived in Bristol for seven years and enjoys a part time course in ceramics at Bristol School of Art. She has recently bought a small kiln so has been able to increase her production of earthenware polar bears and other animals. Her work is usually hand painted with underglaze once it has been biscuit fired, and then fired again with a transparent glaze over the top.
