ceramic artworks
These ceramic artworks are are part of an ongoing series of abstract land, water and skyscapes.
The making process is intuitive and reflects the desire to create works that have elements of calm, presence and flow.
I'm working on a new series of pieces, and I aim to have a collection available later this year.
You can see images of some of the current works through the link below.
A collection of ceramic artworks are also available with Artists & Objects.
Nerikomi flower bowls
A collection of Nerikomi flower display bowls are now available here.
Each has an intricate and unique pattern, created by layering coloured clay. The flower bowls come with a stem holder to arrange dried or fresh blooms and grasses.
In the Pottery Studio
Each work is carefully handcrafted here in my studio in East Oxford, and fired using 100% renewable energy.
Every piece of handbuilt ceramics goes through many processes, from colouring the clay with pigments to rolling clay slabs and brush glazing.

Connection to nature
Inspired by water, sky and my local landscape, I use the grounding quality of clay to explore ideas of flow, balance and connection to nature.
The shapes of my pots often have a nod to my love of architectural design, and the contrast of clean lines against organic shapes found in nature.
'The workshop was both peaceful and inspirational, which I think is a wonderful combination!
You have a fabulously calm and encouraging way of teaching and I enjoyed every minute of the class, it really was a delight.
I’ve been wanting to try out nerikomi for ages and you’ve set me off on a new adventure, I just love it and can’t wait to see the finished article!'

'Thank you, Emily! Another of your beautiful works arrived safely in the post today - beautifully (eco) packaged, as always, and exquisitely made.
Your simple shapes and limited palette somehow allow for so much imagination and, in terms of craftspersonship, the quality of every piece I’ve purchased from you and your attention to detail is always second to none.
Thank you a million thanks for the joy your work brings.'
