Sara Moorhouse
Sara Moorhouse

All bowls Sara Moorhouse makes are thrown on a wheel using white stoneware clay or porcelain. The banded bowls are then turned and bisque fired before being returned to the wheel and hand painted with underglaze colour. The Colourblock series are turned and then the lines drawn on using a laser level, which are then taped and hand painted. The white porcelain bowls are handed carved either on or off the wheel, depending on the arrangement.

Paul Wearing

Paul Wearing's hand-built sculptural vessels reflect diverse urban and rural landscapes. Creating tension between the orderly, symmetrical handmade form and natural glaze phenomena, his work aims to highlight our materiality and fragility.

Tarragon Smith
Tarragon Smith

Tarragon gained a BA Fine Art in 2003 from Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University, and an MA Fine Art in 2007 from Central Saint Martins. He admires the historically nomadic nature of ceramic ware. This tendency of pottery to move from one place to another, carrying with it commodities, aesthetics, and ideas, converges with his use of water as a decorative motif.

Maria Wojdat
Maria Wojdat

Maria's early creative training and work was in graphic design at a time when the industry was changing from drawing boards to computers. As her work became more computer based she realised she missed using her hands and making things, that realisation led to ceramics, initially experimenting in a shed in her garden, but later to an MA in ceramic design at Bath Spa University. Since graduating she has exhibited nationally and internationally and now works from her studio in Frome.
