Ella Porter

Ella is drawn to clay’s unique ability to preserve the act of making, and to how both conscious and unconscious moments of touch become held within the surface of the ceramic object.

Her work demonstrates a strong relationship between surface and form, informed by a BA in Painting and Printmaking and an MA in Ceramics. Ella references historic ceramic artefacts, social and painting theory, exploring ideas around the mark of the maker, temporality, trace and place.
