Gemma Orkin

Gemma Orkin is a Cape Town based Ceramic artist with over 20 years of experience.

Her beautiful pieces of semi-functional ceramics are created in simple, classic shapes and adorned by all the things that she loves. All the pieces are handmade and hand painted by the artist and she chooses creaming colours as base colours and paints them with drawings of things close to her heart.

Gemma is inspired by her children, family, food, pets, and a love of the outdoors, birds, flowers and all the simple, forgotten things of life.
