Ceramipets one-off ceramic sculptures Many of us own pets whom we love dearly and consider to be members of the family. Unfortunately many of us also experience the heartbreak of losing a pet after many years of loyal companionship. We may have the photographs to look at, but imagine if you had a lifelike ceramic sculpture of your pet, accurate in every detail, mounted on a beautifully finished wooden base and finished with a gold commemorative plaque! All you need do is supply the photographs and John will make the sculpture - what a unique way to remember your companion.

Other John Wilesmith creations As well as commissioned one-off sculptures, John produces a range of other pieces - from beautiful to quirky, humorous to macabre. Tasmanian wildlife features in many of these, including the gory Tiger's Revenge. Take a look at the ceramics gallery; the creatures here are not all cuddly! The gallery shows just a small selection of the ceramics range. For more information, don't hesitate to contact John Wilesmith.

'Attention to detail is in my blood; as a teenager I was trained in a china factory that specialised in highly detailed bird and animal studies and that fine detail is still reflected in my work today.'
