Megan Fatharly is a Cornwall-based artist and maker creating hand-embossed tin ornaments and tin-embossed artworks that celebrate care, imperfection, and the beauty of things made slowly.

Rooted in printmaking and collage, Megan’s work draws inspiration from small, quiet moments – handwritten notes, pressed leaves, and the textures of everyday life.

Working primarily in porcelain for its refined yet durable nature, Jess creates pieces that feel light but enduring. Her work ranges from decorative objects, including porcelain flowers on willow stems, to jewellery for everyday wear.

Each piece is individually shaped, textured and glazed by hand, then bisque- and high-fired for strength and luminosity before being finished with carefully chosen materials. Jess’s collections span accessible gifts to statement designs.
