Naked Clay Ceramics
Inspired by the natural colours and textures of the earth, Naked Clay Ceramics is a collection of both functional and sculptural vessels celebrating the tactility of unglazed fired clay.
Using a combination of handbuilding and slip casting, everything is made by hand in my studio in Bedfordshire.
At high temperatures the clay dances in the kiln. When they leave the kiln these pieces don’t conform to the symmetrical perfection and uniformity found in factory made items. Each is individual and unique.
The pieces are fired with no glaze on the outside so that the feel of the natural, fired clay can be appreciated. I hope that tactile connection brings an opportunity to pause, breathe and savour a small moment in the hustle and bustle of life.
I hand make a limited number of items 3-4 times a year, available online and at events. These small batches are crafted with care, knowing that each item will be an intentional and valued addition to someone’s home or collection.
You can visit me at the selling events I do around the country. If you’d like early notification of shop opening, workshop and event dates you can sign up to the newsletter here.
