Sarah has worked from a small studio in Ross-on-Wye since 1982. Some years prior to that, she was fortunate to secure an apprenticeship with Adam Dvorski, a talented potter who worked from his pottery in Clyro, close to Hay-on-Wye. This gave Sarah the foundation to start throwing and creating her own domestic ware from a very small corrugated tin shed in her parent’s garden. Her passion is to create animals and birds that are native to the UK with elegant and simple form, suitable for indoor or outdoor display, such as foxes, hares and badgers.
All pieces are hand built using Craft Crank mixture clay, with no moulds or repeat methods being used. The majority of Sarah’s work is coiled, with solid additions and then hand modelled using a range of simple tools. Colours are achieved using painted oxides. All visitors are welcome to her studio and if that coincides with her working day, you may be able to see this process on display.
