We are coming to the end of March ’26 and my ceramics journey has progressed significantly over the past year. I’ve joined a pottery studio as a member meaning my practice has gone form a two hour group class once a week to 18 hours solo work every week. Initially I was a bit lost with no-one there to help and answer my questions, however through trial and error I’m now getting the results I’d hoped for. I very much see ceramics as an extension of my art practice with each piece crafted with the same amount of thought and care that goes into a painting, the shape, colour, glaze choice etc all carefully considered. Lovely to work in three dimensions and to make an object which you can hold in your hands and use, I very much like that the pieces have a practical purpose rather than being purely decorative.
