Artisan shop ~ Ceramics

Emily graduated with Honours in Fine Art at Swansea Metropolitan University where she became inspired by natural forms and patterns as well as serendipitous self-determining art across a variety of media.

Now, as the founder of The Potter's Wheel, she works mainly in ceramics creating practical homeware and decorative artifacts, as well as undertaking commissioned work.

I was introduced to the joy of working with clay at school but it took another 20 years before I had the opportunity to really get to grips with the whole world of pottery. I started with evening classes with Shelley, moving on to 2 City & Guilds courses with wonderful, knowledgeable, encouraging teachers where I developed an obsession with making teapots, fell in love with Jomon pottery, spent a lot of time and effort learning to throw on the wheel only to discover, once I’d cracked it, that I prefer hand-building. I also completely by chance found the pottery love of my life – the Korean Moon Jar.
