Matt began his career in ceramics with training at Aylesford Pottery in Kent, where he developed his technical skills in production throwing, before going on to set up his own workshop near Folkestone in 2008.
Lise was born in Norway in 1974 and grew up surrounded by nature and the urban environment of Oslo. She trained as a bespoke women’s tailor before embarking on an Art and Design Foundation Course at Bournville, UCE, followed by a BA (Hons) in Fashion and Textile Design at Ravensbourne College, UK. Her interest in ceramics as an alternative creative outlet started with short courses at Putney School of Art in 2012, where she continued her learning for several years before joining communal studios in London. After nearly 20 years working in fashion, Lise switched to ceramics full-time in 2019 and co-founded a London studio and gallery in 2020.
Anthony has been making pots for over forty years following a BA at Cardiff University, where he had the opportunity to build a salt kiln and learned to throw. These two things have been central to his making ever since. He returned to Cardiff to complete an MA twenty years ago and focused on rekindling his love of vapour glazing. He switched to soda firing when it was no longer possible to salt glaze at Cardiff.
Lisa Hammond MBE is a soda firing potter who works at Maze Hill Pottery, Greenwich, London. She has been making pots for best part of 40 years in which time she has taught extensively and pioneered soda glaze and shino firings.
Porcelain, with its fine texture, purity and whiteness, allowed Peter to explore relationships between form and surface in a way that was more rewarding than with any other clay. Wheel-thrown vessel forms offered infinite opportunities for subtle variations, but his particular concern, while attempting to achieve harmony and balance in the work, was to express his feelings for the natural world through the positive radiation of light and colour.
SaeRi strives to intertwine personal narrative with broader social and cultural influences, creating a visual representation of her experiences. Central to her artistic exploration is the profound impact of the "good child syndrome" that has shaped her identity since her youth. This complex, deeply rooted in societal and cultural expectations, has greatly influenced her journey as an artist.
