Emily-Kriste is a Birmingham-based ceramic artist whose hand-built vessels explore the relationship between landscape, memory and material. Working with slab-built white earthenware, she approaches clay as a painter approaches canvas, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that bring elements of the natural world into contemporary interiors.
Julian first made a coil pot at school in 1968 and was immediately hooked - and very well supported by teacher David Buchanan to pursue his passion in exploring what could be made by hand-building with clay. Other than what he was empowered to discover at school, he had no formal training.
Birgit Pohl grew up in Germany and porcelain objects in her family home always held a particular fascination. After moving to London, a chance visit to a potter’s studio first opened her eyes to the possibilities of working with porcelain. She learned how to throw on the wheel initially at evening classes and went on to study at Clay College, Stoke-on-Trent.
Rachel Wood’s ceramics are noted for their expressive, visceral, yet calm and considered qualities. Animated and complex surfaces, swathed with layer upon layer of slip and glaze, are carefully nurtured to life and so compel the viewer to their mysterious and hidden depths.
Having enjoyed making from a young age, Jo completed a degree in jewellery and silversmithing at Edinburgh College of Art before embarking on a career in retail management. It wasn’t until her children started school that she enrolled in a pottery course, where what had begun as a hobby quickly became an obsession. Jo works from her home studio in Fife, producing wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics decorated using the sgraffito technique. Her inspiration comes from two distinct strands: nature - particularly wild plants - and mid-century architecture and pattern. The botanical pieces celebrate weeds that are often overlooked or disdained, allowing their architectural beauty to shine, while the geometric designs explore a detailed interplay of pattern and form, resulting in complex, graphic surfaces.

Jeremy trained in Falmouth, Cornwall and then in Cardiff before being invited to join Wobage Workshop in rural Herefordshire in 1995. From here, he makes wheel-thrown, wood-fired salt-glazed stoneware and porcelain. He and his wife Petra, also a potter and printmaker, live on the edge of the Forest of Dean. They were invited to join the Wobage studios as part-time apprentices to Mick and Sheila Casson, a role they maintained until Mick’s death in 2003.
