Working in clay, for me, is both a passion and a deeply theraputic process. Suffering from long term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after having served as a Paramedic in the Parachute regiment of the French Foreign Legion for six years. During this time I was to see...

Porcelain has been used for centuries for its unique properties. It is fine, delicate, vulnerable and retains evidence of each interaction made with it, fixing a moment in time, documenting a history, the life of the clay. My forms exploit this capacity, finding...

My work displays ambiguous forms that express the human figure, mimicking the subtle movements gestured between bodies capturing connections within intimate moments. These movements displayed by the sensual ceramic forms combined with the composition of the ceramic...

A family is made up of individuals: parents, children, siblings who come together to make a whole. Belonging to a group can bring a sense of cohesion and unity, but individuality cannot be ignored. I believe the same is true for the ceramics used within a home,...

My work is a celebration of transculturation and interculturation between Malay, Pakistani and Western culture. Through my practice I hope to represent audiences who are mixed raced, those who are in a minority, and those who are experiencing racial ambiguity, to...

Space, we move through it every day. We travel from destination to destination chasing our latest objective, most of the time hardly considering where we are beyond how to get to where we need to go. Everything we can perceive exists within space yet we often consider...

The materiality of clay and the alchemy of minerals are intrinsic properties of the earth often unseen by the naked eye. I choose processes that capture the energy of transformation. Whether first in plaster, second with high end porcelain slip or thirdly by giving a...

There is beauty in transferability, in creating a design so simplistic and efficient that it can be adapted to serve multiple functions. Adaptability is essential to my practice. I batch produce pieces, through use of plaster moulds and slip casting, that can be...

I believe that ceramics is an undervalued material. As humans we have forged a relationship with ceramics for thousands of years and yet we somehow take it for granted. We are constantly in contact with plates, cups, bowls, etc. but we never pay these objects enough...

We often look at objects and perceive them as static, but it doesnt take much to shift that perception enabling us to transform the regular and mundane into something else. In order to try and come to better terms with what we experience we need a starting point from...

The landscape contains a particular spirit that is shaped by those who interact with it. The same is true of the making process, with clay responding to the intent and knowledge of the makers hands. A harmony can be found, a meditative connection reached in both...

The stacked tea bowls pose a contradiction between function and sculpture, referencing human interaction and the more compositional concerns of weight, shape, form and balance. The consequence of this is a sense of unpredictability, of familiar objects moving into and...

The ethos of my work is to celebrate a pure minimalist design, to reveal the essential beauty of qualities and values that exist in our architecture and products. It is a beauty derived from a balance of elements that help us feel centred, with the capacity to create...

My practice stems from a motivation to understand the thrown form. Through a cyclic process of fracturing and reconstructing I hope to achieve an instinctive understanding not of the process of throwing but of the forms that result from this method of making. My...

My work explores the balance between function and ornamentation. Whilst ceramics is often associated with utility, our tactile interaction with their properties can enable a story to be told; a sense of time can be captured through movement in glaze, sense states...

Living in utilitarian buildings, inhabitants can tend to act passively with their surroundings. My interest lies in reactivating our early human lives and a more intimate interaction with the environment. I am fascinated by the primitive quality of the ancient objects...

The challenging of utilitarian and craft prejudices against ceramics stimulates my work. I believe that life and art are one, that the domestic table and vessels that inhabit it are a sculptural landscape worthy of any gallery or museum. My ethos combines ceramic and...

My work is made to reflect comfort and the personal, when eating and drinking. In most cultures there has always been a cloak of convoluted rituals involved in dining to test each others socialization and civility. How we make utilitarian wares is centered around...

It has been common to describe craft’s position as a borderline area between fine art and design. I prefer to call this area an ‘intervening space’ or, to be more precise, the space between function and non-function, tradition and breaking with tradition,...

I produce ceramic sculptures that celebrate the responsiveness of both skin and clay, blurring the lines between body and object. The body is central to our understanding of the world, art should therefore remind us of what it feels like to inhabit it, forcing...

These pots display upon their every surface the journey they took from bag of clay to where they are now curated. This is because clay has a unique memory, and immortalises our impact upon it, which can act as a reminder of our responsibility to the earth. The...

My practice is an attempt to develop a body of work that enables me to gain a greater understanding of life’s sensory and experiential properties. Clay makes sense of my experiences; building a poetic material language, which through the process of selection, and...

The colours of Cornwall are recorded throughout art history as holding particular warmth and radiance, as being mysteriously heightened by a brilliant quality of light called over from the Atlantic sea. It is fascinating how the different levels of sunlight can change...

I am a potter. I enjoy making functional objects intended for a domestic setting. I want to celebrate the simple act of eating and drinking, to encourage appreciation for hand-made objects; from the visual qualities of surface, to the tactility of holding a vessel, to...

My work focuses on the use of surface: through decoration and functional choices alike, we communicate meaning to both ourselves and to others - my medium of choice is ceramics, but more specifically porcelain, for its challenging nature. I believe that if one aims to...

I’m a ceramic gardener. I believe all matter should be considered alive and vital. Through attentive human intervention, material can be cultivated into forms that are not dominated by pure human will, but are collaboratively shaped by the world and its forces. Clay...
