Meet Our Makers

All of our makers are members of the Craft Potters Association and each of them have a story to tell.

Hannah Tounsend

Hannah creates both monoprints and ceramic work. There is a theme of interwoven methods throughout; each approach blending into the next, her unique creations embrace their strikingly different techniques.  With purposeful brush strokes, stamps, pencil marks and carvings she creates fluid visual landscapes on the textures of canvas and smooth ceramic surfaces.

Sarah Jenkins

There was a time when Sarah’s work referenced landscape more directly.

Landscape is still pivotal for her, but now in a more internal, abstracted and oblique way.
The clay structure is the earthy foundation, the surface marks, colours and textures are
transient moments of weather and light, season and time.
