Deborah ClarkeCreative Clay for All

"Clay has infinite possibilities and exploring some of those will always be a joy"

I have always had a passion for ceramics and have enjoyed learning and working in clay for over 20 years. I have been taught by some amazingly skilled Potters while studying Ceramics at Bath. Following my degree I exhibited in the New Designers exhibition at the Business Design Centre, London and I have exhibited my ceramics across the South West. My studio is located in rural Dorset. The landscape is constantly changing and I occasionally see deer strolling through the fields. The Jurassic Coast is nearby with a coast ranging from sandy beaches to jagged dark rocks protruding from the cliffs, with glimpses of fossils. This inspires the colours, shapes and patterns used in my creations. I hand build in a variety of clays mainly firing at earthenware temperatures in an electric kiln. There is always a need to have fun with clay either in the firing or the way the finished pieces look and I enjoy taking part in experimental kiln firings when I get a chance included a local wood kiln. Clay has infinite possibilities and exploring some of those will always be a joy.
