MORGEN HALL- In Memory

Born 1960 – Died 17th February 2016

It is with great sadness that we have heard of the death of one of our favourite makers whose making skills and design creativity were amongst the best. She had an entirely original style that could never be mistaken for any other maker and we are certain that those fortunate owners of her work will treasure those pieces even more with her passing.

Morgen's work has fine detail and finish on strong, bold forms. A high firing, smooth red earthenware is used, both for its rich cinnamon colouring and for its durability in use. She always wanted her pieces, however fine, to be used and indeed, they will enhance any afternoon tea,
 as will be seen with this set which we are showing in her memory.

She will be missed by all lovers of beautiful studio ceramics. Thankfully we have the gift of her wonderful creations to sustain the memory of this truly original maker.

Morgen was a Fellow of The Craft Potters' Association
