Fleur Schell from Fremantle, Western Australia has been a porcelain ceramic artist since adulthood. She has relished in the daily ritual of pouring from a handmade teapot and drinking from a thrown and altered cup. But it wasn’t until her daughter Heidi was born that she began creating teapots that depicted imaginary playmates and tales. “Like a page from a children's book the gesture between a little girl and her dog atop a teapot encourages us to reflect apon innocent childlike experiences.” This is what inspired her to make a children’s book entitled “The Excellent Adventures of Heidi and Kilbey.”
