the pottery
My close relationship with nature has changed little since my childhood. At an
early age my favourite pastime was playing in a muddy stream, gathering up the
clay deposits and sculpting them into organic forms. I could always be found
making, sculpting and drawing. This led to me developing my studies in the art
field going on to gain a degree in Three Dimensional Design specialising in
Ceramics. I continued to gain a Post Graduate in Education and I have taught art
and ceramics in schools and colleges for the last 25 years. I opened Joy Gibbs
Price Ceramics in Mattersey in 2016 and The Pottery in 2019 where I produced my
own ceramics and lead pottery classes throughout the week. From March 1st 2022
The Pottery is changing to The Potting Shed a purpose built studio in a rural
landscape with a small gallery area, workshop and teaching space where we run a
vast array of workshops throughout the year. I usually can be found teaching,
throwing on the wheel or busy glazing my own work.
