Lot 148
Artist: Toana (Toots) EllisTitle: The LighthouseSize: 26 x 27 a 12(h) cmMedium: Baulk, stone & glassToana (Toots) EllisToana Ellis was born in 1986 in Ruan Minor, close to the charming little fishing village of Cadgwith. Her father, Martin Ellis, was a local fisherman, with his picture-postcard boat the “Samantha Rose” and Toana enjoyed many trips to sea with him, developing a love of the ocean and viewing the brilliance of its seascapes with an artist's eye. Retired from fishing, Martin is now an artist, along with Toana's uncle, André Ellis, so creativity runs in the family! Toana first enjoyed her art lessons at school, gaining an A grade at GCSE. After gaining work experience at a local gallery, where she fell in love with glass art, she enrolled in a National Diploma in Art and Design at Truro College. She has also completed a course at Penwith College learning how to do leaded glasswork. Toana has always drawn inspiration from the natural colours, shapes and textures found on the beaches, coves and harbours of her native Cornwall. She hopes to make her career blossom in these same places, giving back to the community what she has gained from it.

It's here deep in the Cornish landscape that he creates his pieces by combining vibrant tiles with other rustic materials such as driftwood and slate.Keith's early working life could not have been more different having worked in both the building and fishing industries since he left school at the age of 15, he never imagined he would one day be a ceramicist. “If you had said to me ten years ago that I would be making ceramics I would have laughed, but what I love about my work is that there are no rules, I basically started this myself, I didn't go to art school or college etc… it's self-taught, so there are no limits, no-one can question my technique.” DISCLAIMER: The Porthleven baulk/harbour defence wood is made (on the whole) of Douglas Fir Pine.
