Having grown up in East Germany, a spirit of friction and tension between perceived opposites informs much of Schneider’s work. Their punk-baroque sculptures operate at the margins of functionality and aesthetic convention, riding the boundary between binary opposites in ways that invite speculation and test both the powers of interpretation and the materiality of clay.

Paula’s childhood dream from the age of eight was to become a potter based by the sea. She studied drawing, painting and art history at school followed by a Fine Art and Ceramics course at college. She has pursued teaching and making ever since and moving to Cornwall in 2000 gave Paula more time, inspiration, and the fulfilment of her childhood dream. The Cornish land/seascape, coastline profiles, ancient heritage and mining history are an endless source of inspiration for her work.
Wendy’s work is characterized by playfulness, gentle colour palettes, and illustrative qualities. She crafts both functional and non-functional pieces, drawing on a versatile foundation of slab building, pinching, and wheel throwing. Wendy’s recent practice focuses on intuitive, freehand mark-making across slabbed and thrown forms. By layering slips and glazes, she creates rich patterns and a painterly surface depth that celebrates the spontaneous interaction between form, colour, and texture. Wendy is a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association, having first joined as a student member after graduating in ceramics from Derby College in 1990.
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.
