Mickerloo Arts in Cheshire

At Made by Hand, I met Sally Raven who is ceramicist and also owner of Mickerloo Arts in Cheshire. She uses traditional wood to fire kiln. The colours in her work creates warmer and sattle look. Her collection brings every day and special occasion to match up your needs.

I hear her gallery is located in very nice part of Cheshire. If you are in the area please pop in and let me know! I personally want to visit there soon.
