Ceramics

Claywirks is a group of 12 enthusiastic and like-minded potters based in Wirksworth, Derbyshire who came together at the end of 2014 to do something about addressing our needs by pooling and sharing resources. Our aims are simple; to share a space and equipment; to...

I am a ceramic artist working in Stoke on Trent. I make domestic ware inspired by the Staffordshire pottery tradition and mid century design. I combine the precision of hand building techniques and the gestural nature of slip decoration and stencil work. The...

My work is a celebration of nature & botanical plants & flowers of the British Isles. I am a studio potter who hand-builds vessels, wall hangings, succulent pebbles & planters using seed heads & wild flowers sown & grown in my own country...

I am both a potter and a printmaker. My influences are from nature and pattern. I work in porcelain paper clay that I make myself. I love the translucency that I can achieve with this. I press seed-heads and other items into the clay to pick up the often very...

My highly decorative ceramics reflect the tactile joy of throwing clay on the pottery wheel. The organic shapes invite to wrap your hands around the vessels which are decorated with texture to give additional sensory satisfaction. The pieces are embellished with...

My work explores rhythm and movement, whether through a single line describing the 3 dimensional form it covers (echoing the tracery of stone walls on a hillscape), spontaneous mark making using metal oxides, or by allowing the action of flame on clay to produce...

I make decorative low fired ceramic bowls, dishes, plates and brooches from a variety of clays using press-moulding & hand building processes. After dipping and pouring on a range of unusual glazes including a vibrant matt turquoise and tactile crawling glazes,...

I produce handmade ceramic products which include tiles presented as multiples in framed collections, brooches, buttons and coasters. The tiles are produced using a porcelain clay decorated with a white glaze. Images from my drawings, prints and photographs are...

I’m influenced by traditional Moorish ceramics and love exploring the repetition of simple shapes and patterns to create surfaces that are more than the sum of their parts! I handmake all the tiles used in my work; the variations add character and warmth to any...

Slip decorated and glazed white stoneware and red earthenware vessels thrown on a wheel with gestural fluid decoration. Influenced by Korean and Japanese forms and Industrial British vessels.

I create ceramic sculptures and homewares that take inspiration from organic flower forms, architectural elements and my own East Asian cultural influences.  Each element of a sculpture is hand-built from stoneware and porcelain clays, with repeating petal and...

Buird Pottery is hand thrown in small batches in Wirksworth, before being fired in an electric or wood fired kiln. Potters Graeme and Inga both grew up in Scotland, so the ancient Scottish word for table felt apt - it’s pronounced ‘boord’. Our pots are made using...

I design and make forms with an intended sense of tranquility and harmony. Those who view my work will hopefully see something of these qualities and connect with the piece in their own way. Japanese traditional art remains a strong influence for my ceramics and I...

I have always had a love for everyday items which hold little monetary value but are full of sentimental or emotional value. I enjoy searching through the cupboard to find the right mug for the right moment, for the right tea or time of day. The feeling of this is...
