Beautiful, colourful mirrors.

I’ll never look at broken china in the same way ever again.

I love her attention to detail.

Each mirror is a three dimensional work of art, based around it’s own unique selection of broken china.

If only I had all the Money in the World

Oh my! I could happily have come home any one of the mirrors. It was only the £5,500 price tag (and the look on my Dear Husbands face) that stopped me buying one!

Smashed China Box

Ever since seeing these pieces, I can’t help myself, I really, really can’t resist buying oddments of ceramics and china. My broken china box is slowly filling up.

If you’ve also discovered a new need to buy broken china, leave a comment below.

The Kaffe Fassett and Candace Bahouth exhibition is on until the 2nd September 2018, and it’s well worth a look.

  1. The Catalan architect Gaudi used this technique for making all the mosaic in the benches and the walls of his Parque Guell park in Barcelona.
    He used to go to potteries collecting all kinds of rejected pieces of china from tea cups to decorative s plates.
    He did this more than 100 years ago.

  2. I went to this exhibition with others from my City and Guilds Mosaic class and it literally blew me away. Though i was already using broken china in my mosaics, Candace’s incredible work inspired me to look beyond flat plates. ❤️

    1. Thank you for your comment Wendy.
      I totally agree. Candace’s work is totally inspiring – it was fantastic to see her pieces alongside Kaffe’s vibrant quilts.
