Apple Tree Attic is a love letter to maximalists and storytellers.

Hi, I’m Gabrielle, an artist, ceramicist and lifelong collector of things that are colourful, curious, nostalgic and a little bit unusual.

I created Apple Tree Attic as a place to bring together the things I love making: handmade ceramics, prints, cards and other colourful creations. My work is inspired by storytelling, cinema, vintage treasures, bold colour, pattern and all the little details that can make an ordinary object feel special.

I’ve always loved objects that have a sense of personality: things that make you smile, remind you of somewhere, or make someone ask, “Where did you get that?”

That’s why each Apple Tree Attic design begins with a story. Every piece belongs to a collection, and every collection is part of a bigger little world that I invite you into.

I make my pieces by hand in small batches, so each piece is unique, and I like it that way. The little variations are part of what makes them yours.

Apple Tree Attic is for people who want their homes to feel like them: colourful, collected, joyful and full of stories.

So have a rummage around the Attic. You never quite know what you might find.

Workshops

Beyond the making, I also run workshops in handbuilding ceramics, printmaking, photography, and mixed media collage. I give space for you to explore your own creativity and storytelling. Current workshops are listed in the Workshops tab.
