September Ceramics

Helen Long -" I have taken inspiration from the wild seas; transforming coloured porcelain into organic forms with fluidity and power. I hope to highlight the plight of our beautiful oceans with this work"
September Ceramics
Sarah Scott - My work is about shape which is in the form of animals or humans! I like to use colour to give my pieces a contemporary feel.
Rebecca Maynard - I create handbuilt earthenware and stoneware ceramic sculpture using bold simple forms. My work ranges from small birds in vibrant blues to larger head sculptures.
Ursula Waechter - I make a range of functional and decorative tin-glazed earthenware; mostly made on the potter’s wheel. I hand decorate using calligraphic brushes and oxide mixtures. I also make commissioned lettered pieces for special occasions and offer individually tuition in throwing and decorating.
Ali Keeling - My work is developed using hand building techniques and is fired to stoneware. I am interested in the relationship between form, textural surface, pattern and colour, distilling visual impressions from my surroundings. Pots of Hope, Susie
Lizzy McCracken I make tin glaze earthenware thrown vessels and tableware decorated with sgraffito technique through a wash of cobalt oxide.
Lizzy McCracken - I make tin glaze earthenware thrown vessels and tableware decorated with sgraffito technique through a wash of cobalt oxide.
Pots of Hope -My ceramics carry mantra to support wellbeing; each piece is a meditation, cherishingly prepared, centred and shaped as a metaphor of ‘hope’. Inspired by sharing the mindful, humbling process of aligning clay, I am immersed in combining the transformation of the four essential elements into objects of function and beauty.
Katherine Kingdon Katherine’s ceramics is full of character and storytelling. Her figures seem to be caught mid action and a sense of playful ambiguity draws you in and challenges your imagination. All her work is hand-built, with a mixture of applied, incised and hand-modelled detail.
Teresa Munn ‘I write with clay, exploring relationships with landscape’
