The majority of her work consists of elegant, simplistic porcelain bodies inspired by clean, neat and modern forms. whilst her love of ceramics is consistent throughout her work Bryony also adds elements of other materials such as pewter, paper and wood. Using intricate and detailed features of pewter and paper that can beautifully the piece, bringing an component of colour or texture. “My design concepts are contemporary and grow through experimentation with both material and technique exploration, keeping bright, bold and contrasting colours consistent throughout.” – Bryony Applegate Along with Bryony's love for ceramics, food is also a big part of her life and something she has always been fascinated in.
