Emily Stracey

At the age of 20, venturing on an Art school trip to Paris Emily believed she met Jim Morrison reincarnated as a plump ginger and white cat sat on his own grave.  This experience fuelled Emily’s fascination for the feline species and from then on she made cats; gingers, tabbies, fluffy, fat, black, white, pointy she just couldn’t stop!

Although she does endeavour to make other animals too and anything else that she might be able to morph from clay, fabric or paint!

Emily enjoys family life in sunny Bournemouth. You will find her making animals, most days and sometimes nights in her garden workshop closely guarded by her two cats Lollypop and Sweetiepie.

Emily’s ‘Pesky Seagulls’ have rapidly become one of the top selling items in the gallery, so don’t miss out on the most recent stock arrival !
