Nosey Mungo

Nosey is a self-taught ceramic artist with an obsession for animals, usually the weirder and more obscure. She lives in Brighton in the UK and travels to her studio in her home village of Cuckfield two days a week. She has the company of two beautiful sighthounds Fern and Willow while she’s there.

It all began in the 80's. As a child, she'd spend my time either engrossed in an art project or outside in search of wildlife. Her favourite things on TV were David Attenborough documentaries and everything by Aardman - She was convinced she was going to be the next Nick Park.

​The urge to create has always stayed with her, but she ended up following a path in science. Nosey studied Geography with Biology at university and then returned to do a masters in Biodiversity Surveying. This eventually led to an amazing job at the Sussex Wildlife Trust, where she dealt with biodiversity data and the geeky side of nature conservation.

In 2010 the onset of fibromyalgia forced her to cut down her hours at work. She needed an alternative focus and clay was the answer. After several pottery classes, she was hooked and what started as a hobby quickly turned into a business when people liked her work enough to want to buy it.

Years later, Nosey Mungo has arrived. As a kid this is what her mum would call her if she was being a bit too inquisitive. Being forever curious about nature will always give her new creative inspiration.
