Peter Black’s work expresses contrasts and explores traditional forms and detail. It focuses on the familiar, taking it forward with a dash of humour and an oblique nod to its source. The result is a freshness, vibrancy and individuality of spirit.
Katie Braida makes earthenware sculptural vessels using a variety of hand building techniques. These are finished with textured surfaces which draw influence from the manmade and natural marks present within the land and seascape around her North Yorkshire home.
Ant & Di Edmonds – Ant has been making pots for over 50 years, the second 25 spent alongside his wife Di. Together, as Tydd Pottery, they produce large-scale, hand-coiled vessels, decorated with bold black, geometric designs and amazingly created without using any glaze.
Anthony Dix has been making pots for over 40 years. His work is influenced by spirals in nature juxtaposed with the formality of utilitarian architecture. He is always striving to develop his work, constantly altering, experimenting with and refining surfaces in his soda kiln.
Barbara Gittings’ smoke fired, nerikomi porcelain vessels draw inspiration from the geometry in nature, especially as growth and random chaotic forces skew and distort the initial perfect symmetry, leading to biomorphic and irregular forms.
Diane Griffin makes richly textural and sculptural works. Each piece is inspired by our human experiences as viewed in relation to our emotions and the constructs we have evolved in order to manage them.
Robyn Hardyman throws and turns her vessels on the wheel in her Oxfordshire studio. Utilising porcelain for its unique combination of delicacy and strength she creates fine, balanced forms, with a purity of surface perfect for glazing.
Kerry Hastings makes ceramic vessels which explore themes such as harmony and discord, colour and form, silhouette and contour. She crafts ceramic sculptures and illuminated objects using the ancient pinch and coil technique. Her lamps and artworks feature dynamic, asymmetric shapes that push the boundaries of clay production.
Lise Herud Braten’s primary interests lie in creating decorative and sculptural forms with highly textured, expressive surfaces. Memories of growing up in a rugged landscape in Norway inform both shapes and mark-making, imbuing the pieces with a sense of place.
Emma Lacey’s ceramics practice is built on notions of emotionally durable design. She uses the making language of ceramics and a design sensibility to make hand-thrown, ergonomic and functional work which is contemporary and relevant over time.
Sue Mundy’s work explores the fragility and hidden strength found within the natural world. Built with a white stoneware clay body, the slow repetitive hand-building techniques she uses to create her pieces offer a considered way to develop the work as each piece calmly grows.
Simon Olley is a potter and ceramic artist whose thrown work combines illustration and sgraffito to depict and celebrate the exciting (and sometimes imaginary) relationship between man and his best, four-legged friend.
Laura Plant draws on the creative heritage and ambition of the pioneering potters who made her hometown of Stoke-on-Trent famous. Her contemporary porcelain forms echo the grandeur of these early craftspeople, offering up carefully turned and perfectly refined forms.
Jane Sheppard produces coil built, smoke fired vessels. She strives to create forms and decoration which appeal to our shared human aesthetic and remind us of our physical connection with the earth.
Elly Wall’s work is hand built using slabs of clay with coloured slips and unique textural marks and impressions. Her work is informed by disused industrial buildings, and the sense of unease created by large volumes of empty space.
Yusun Won’s vessels exploit motifs from historical artefacts, which are repurposed to create undeniably contemporary ceramics. From a distance, these vessels look like one piece. However, upon closer viewing reveal something unique hidden.

This exhibition profiles the works of seventeen esteemed makers, each of whom have recently been awarded Selected Member status by the Craft Potters Association.
An exhibition of works to coincide with the launch of Adam Buick's new book 'Raw Earth'. Adam uses a single pure jar form as a canvas to map his observations from an ongoing study of his surroundings. He incorporates stone and locally dug clay into his work to create a narrative, one that conveys a unique sense of place. The unpredictable nature of each jar comes from the inclusions and their metamorphosis during firing. This individuality and tension between materials speaks of the human condition and how the landscape shapes us as individuals.
‘I build up the surfaces of my pieces spontaneously, riffing on ideas of space, narrative and joy. I get to a point where I can push things a bit, hoping something exciting will happen – and sometimes it does.’
“The work has a strong tactile quality, as does the natural world. I don't wish to imitate nature but aspire to echo the process of nature.”
“Everything created, either functional or decorative, has equal importance,
and the integrity of this thought is the driving force behind my daily practice as
a potter.”
The driving force behind all of Paul Jackson’s
highly decorated work is a desire to express
his Cornish surroundings, with their strong
sense of colour and style. Paul uses white
earthenware to form energetic vessels
which are then decorated with colourful
and painterly abstract decorative motifs,
some influenced by Russian or Islamic art.
Richard Phethean makes ceramics
using coarse textured red and black
earthenware clays referencing
ancient pottery as well as European
slipware traditions. Richard utilises
brush and resist techniques to create
cubist‑inspired abstractions that adorn
both his domestic vessels and altered
and assembled forms.
