Sarah Schembri is a ceramic artist who is passionate about creating functional, tactile and visually appealing ceramics, particularly tableware.

Being a lover of cooking and food in general, she is most interested in making pieces that are a pleasure to use in the home, pieces which are not only visually appealing but also functional and tactile.

“There is something quite special about using pieces that are handmade – the experience and food taste better. This is a feeling that I think about when I’m creating, it’s part of the experience I want to share with others.” – Sarah
