	Short Description:	One of Britain’s foremost garden artists.
	Description:	Jonathan Garratt has specialised in making distinctive and unusual terracotta pots for gardens for nearly 30 years and currently enjoys a reputation as one of Britain’s foremost garden artists. His passion for plants informs many of the innovative designs. He produces a wide selection of shapes for specific plant habits; grasses, trailing, succulents, bulbs, annuals, architectural etc. All the pots are made from local clay refined at the pottery and are fired exclusively with wood from the locality to produce subtle, natural colours on the finished work. Jonathan makes artworks for green spaces which he terms “Garden Punctuation”, taking traditional ideas of sculpture one step further by ‘knitting’ the pieces into the planting: a way of engaging more directly with the natural world. Glazed tableware for outside eating is also available with decoration inspired by his love of West African textiles and Jonathan completes his creative output with what he calls “Mantelpiece Pots” and “Lascaux for Now” zinc fumed wall discs – clay ‘paintings’ for interiors.
