Path and Inspiration
Tilt Ceramics was born from my deep love of texture, shape and form. My journey in clay began learning the craft across independent pottery studios in London (Kiln Rooms, Turning Earth, Skandihus) with life then taking me to St Leonards Ceramics studio, then Colchester’s MakerSpace, with courses at Leach Pottery and Casa Julfa inbetween. After a transient few years, I've settled back into my hometown and I'm now making carefully crafted stoneware in South London.Process and Practice
Each object is made lovingly with hands that leave their marks on the clay. I make individual pieces inspired by the landscape and elements of the places I've lived. Pieces are built by memories of the sea & pebbles found on St Leonards beach, as well as recollections of the gorse, bracken and sea birds of the Essex estuary. The distinctive earthy tones and tactile surfaces evoke walks in the Essex woods and textures observed at sandy low tides on the Sussex coast.
