Stoneware bowl with copper wire weaving
Region: Stratford-upon-Avon

Artform: Ceramics ,Mixed media

I have attended ceramic classes for 13 years at Royal Leamington Spa College where I have learned different building and decoration techniques. Now I have my own kiln so I dedicate more time to what I am passionate about.

I mainly make stoneware fired decorative pots experimenting with the malleability of the clay. I create pots using the kurinuki technique, slabs in moulds or coiling; often a combination of these. I like stretching in places to highlight the shape of the pot and produce decorative cracks. Recently I have been experimenting with mixed media artforms inspired by my Chilean heritage, adding copper, raffia and willow to my pots. I find that the addition of natural materials with their own malleability, texture and varied colours, reminiscent of the Andes mountains and Atacama desert, produces an extra dimension of embellishment.

I am very excited to take part in the WOS for the first time and to exhibit with Robin Wade, a well known ceramist.
