MORE ABOUT ME

Electric Embers

My first solo exhibition will be held at Ross Creek Gallery, the home and studio of talented ceramic artist Ruby Pilven, in November 2025. Works will focus on my exploration of the saggar firing process in an electric kiln. You can expect a spectrum of unique effects created by the range of organic materials used in the saggar. There will be pieces of different shapes and sizes, from small hearts to large decorative items.You will be able to add to your festive season shopping , while supporting local handmade ceramics. Event details.

Current Project

My latest works are hand built ceramic pieces produced using a saggar firing process in an electric kiln. Saggars are sealed containers used to encase ceramic pieces during firing. By controlling the atmosphere within the saggar, artists can create various design effects. Organic materials, such as leaves, sawdust, or salts, are often placed within the saggar. As the kiln reaches high temperatures, these materials release smoke and vapor, which can interact with the ceramics. Other additives such as metallic salts, oxides or minerals can be added. These interactions lead to unique surface patterns, including smoky veils, flashes of color, and distinctive markings.
The saggar firing process is known for its element of surprise. leading to unexpected and captivating design effects that are difficult to replicate through traditional kiln firing. The saggar technique invites experimentation and fosters creativity, resulting in one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces with stunning visual appeal.

I have been inspired and encouraged by her skilful and patient teaching approach, her classes can be as freely creative or as guided as you want. Sharing the journey with a small group of other aspiring creative people is magical and the highlight of my week.
