Anne Smith Ceramics

Working from my studio in Crediton I create contemporary ceramics using stoneware clays selected for their contrasting textures and the colours that emerge after firing. My aim is to create unique artistic pieces, to be loved and used. I initially worked mainly on the wheel, to which I often return, glazing these pieces in multiple layers to achieve exciting and often unpredictable outcomes. However, I often work with slabs from which I create pieces on which abstract designs obliquely or more obviously pick up on botanical influences. Typically, these are glazed in rich greens and blues with unglazed textured areas retained in the finished piece. Most recently I’ve been working on a series of Iconic Landscape Vessels inspired by the colours and striking features of our coastlines and landscapes in the southwest.

I sell my ceramics in Galleries, at Potters’ Markets, Open Studio events, an online Artisan Marketplace (Greenpebble), and as commissions.
