Alice Fyles is a ceramic designer whose practice is focused on locality and self-sufficiency. With effect from the 1st of May 2020 Alice proclaimed the existence of the Land of Fylesia. In the land, Alice grows her own food and makes plant pots out of local materials, whether that be vessels made from household waste, papier-mâché or local ceramic materials. The localized and first-hand ceramic practice aims to enhance Alice's understanding of her work's environmental impact. The venture also aspires to shift our design approach in the age of climate emergency, to design lead by local material opportunities.
