Alex Sickling has reimagined Sappho as a figurine and we think she is wonderful.
Alex is an illustrator and ceramicist now based in Newcastle after graduating from Leeds College of Art. Alex was invited to create a range of ceramic works in response to Auguste Charles Mengin's, Sappho. Pulling inspiration from traditional Greek ceramics and the legend of Sappho, Alex brings us a collection of hand-painted decorative and functional art pieces that have a naive and playful quality.
Alex has worked with clients such as Anya Hindmarch, Anthropologie, New Craftsmen and The Conran Shop as well as making work for independent design shops and galleries.
