Starlingpots Ceramics
With a background in architecture and design, I've taken my love of texture, form and detail to a smaller scale through ceramics. From my starlingpots studio, I design and handcraft ceramic pieces in small batches, drawing inspiration from the natural world for decorative themes and colour palettes. I carefully choose slips and blend glazes to create depth, tactility and surface interest, always delighting in the joy of opening the kiln at the end of the process. I make work of all scales and for a variety of uses – from bespoke pieces for recipe and magazine shoots to commissions for restaurants and cafés, as well as everyday ceramics designed for gifting and daily use. My work is available through my website, makers' markets, farm shops, art galleries, boutiques and pop-up events. I run workshops through local Arts Centres, hold DBS and PLI. I'm a member of London Potters and exhibit my work annually.
