“Beautiful individually handcrafted garden birds, each one is unique…”

Elissa Palser

Elissa’s life size ceramic British birds are each handmade from clay, painted by hand, glazed and then fired twice at temperatures of up to 1260 degrees C to stoneware. They include much loved and familiar birds often seen in our own gardens; Blue Tits, Great Tits, Wrens, Robin, Bullfinch and Thrush. Each bird is unique and no two are alike.
