naked clay ceramics
Inspired by the natural colours and textures of the earth, Naked Clay Ceramics
is a collection of quiet, tactile, minimal style tableware and homeware in black
stoneware and white porcelain. 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.
