We’re so excited to introduce a gorgeous new ceramic collection by artist Amelia K Fulton, created exclusively for Sailors Jail.

Inspired by ritual objects, mythology and folklore, this truly unique collection is full of character and intrigue. Each piece is crafted by hand and wood-fired in St Austell, making every one beautifully individual.

We’ll be sharing a proper introduction to Amelia very soon, but we couldn’t resist giving you a little preview of her first collection with us.

Pop into the gallery to see the pieces in person, or head over to our website now to take a closer look.

Take a Closer Look…

Today we’re taking a closer look at ‘The Krake’ by Falmouth-based artist Jacqui Orly Ammon.

This is a piece that truly comes alive up close, revealing its rich, energetic texture, expressive mark-making and bursts of colourful detail that you might miss at first glance.

Jacqui’s work is evocative and powerful, often suggesting hidden depths and meanings while leaving plenty of room for interpretation. There’s always something new to discover when you look a little closer.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again… art should be for everyone.

Affordable, accessible art will always be at the heart of what we do. We know affordability looks different for everyone, which is why we’re proud to offer original artwork across a wide range of price points.

There’s something incredibly special about owning an original, handmade piece of art. And in a world that’s becoming increasingly digital and artificial, we think the individuality and human touch of something made by a person will only become more meaningful.

Swipe to explore some of our most affordable original artworks, because beautiful, original art doesn’t have to break the bank.

For this piece, Gary turns his attention to the wonderfully unique London tradition of the Pearly Kings, capturing its unmistakable character through his distinctive style.
