Leora Honeyman, a ceramic and glass artist from East Sussex, creates thought-provoking designs that challenge conventional function and context. By pushing materials beyond their limits, she crafts otherworldly pieces that inspire curiosity and a sense of wonder.

Her work explores lost histories, using functional objects to hint at parallel cultural trajectories. Recent collections respond to imagined missing legacies, particularly those erased through the persecution of witches. Pieces like Nectar Vessels and Djinn Jars blur the line between utility and mystery, suggesting unfamiliar cultural practices.

Leora’s work encourages viewers to question assumptions about function and identity. By creating objects that feel both familiar and alien, she highlights narratives of ‘other-hoods’ and forgotten cultural histories.
