Maree and Paul Allitt

Maree and Paul Allitt aka MAPMAP™ worked together on their creative projects and designs since art school in Portsmouth. Their shared love of surface, pattern and form led them to produce their range of minimalist ceramic art pottery, fabric and prints. 'We like to think our designs are contemporary, fun and colourful with a touch of Mid-Century style.'

They worked for many years at Kettle’s Yard house and gallery in Cambridge so its close association with British Modernism and the St Ives School tempers their oldest influences like John Clappison’s designs for Hornsea Pottery.

Handmade in their Cambridge studio, their slab-built porcelain ceramics are decorated using stencils and flat slip colours. In the final firing some areas are glazed making a contrast of matt and gloss surfaces and giving each piece an attractive tactile quality. These beautiful ceramics make memorable and individual presents for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and other celebrations. Alternatively, why not treat yourself to a unique and distinctive gift.
