About Melissa Searcy 

Welcoming a collection of elegant and delicate porcelain and ceramic mugs, hand built by Victoria, BC based artist, Melissa Searcy. 

After 30 years of living and creating on Salt Spring Island, Searcy moved her ceramic studio to Victoria and began to explore the world of fine porcelain. She makes a variety of porcelain cups, bowls, small dishes and vases designed to celebrate the beauty of translucency of the material. Many of her pieces have leaf-impressed designs from leaves gathered on her walks around the city. 

Searcy often returns to making some of her favourite work from the past, including her popular crow sculptures and her vibrantly coloured Big Fruit sculptures.
