Mürüde Mehmet
Mürüde Mehmet is a resident artist, and runs the pottery studio at the Bromley by Bow Centre. Her involvement with the Centre goes back over 10 years, and she runs a number of ceramics workshops and tutorials, both for members of the community and private clients.
Mürüde's own work focuses on high-fired earthenware and stoneware. These include her signature MüJo bowls and dishes, which have organic, flowing shapes inspired by the idea of walking through a forest. Many of the pieces use overlays of glazes – often 3 or more – to create a unique depth and mood of colour. Regularly appearing details include lines – suggesting journey – and circles, suggesting growth. Each piece is a true original.
MüJo also produces a limited number of wheel thrown clay items, such as vases or mugs, enlivened by fresh details such as contrasting glaze finishes or unusual handles.
Mürüde has also produced a number of public art commissions. These include a ceramic mosaic tile piece at Mayville Estate in Newington Green, North London. Based on nature and designed in collaboration with the local community, the mosaic is 2.4 metres in diameter.
