Ceramics / pottery designer

By admin



Pottery/Ceramics Designers (Ceramicists) combine creative, practical and technical skills in the design and production of original items such as plates, ornaments, pots and sculptures made by shaping, moulding and firing clay and other materials.

Ceramics designers and potters use a range of techniques and their creativity to make domestic (table and chinaware), decorative (ornaments and sculptures) or industrial (pipes, fittings, tiles) products from clay. Typical activities include:

  • generating original ideas;
  • producing sketches and sample designs;
  • preparing clay and other materials for use;
  • using kilns, a potter’s wheel and/or moulds to produce items;
  • using a variety of techniques to create finished products;
  • investigating and choosing appropriate production processes and materials (stoneware, earthenware, porcelain etc);
  • maintaining awareness of current design trends, fashion and influences;
  • liaising with suppliers, galleries, store buyers, clients etc;
  • undertaking market research, marketing and business development activities;
  • managing budgets and accounts;
  • running workshops/teaching classes;
  • giving demonstrations;
  • producing photographs, catalogues and/or design portfolios;
  • attending/displaying work at exhibitions and craft fairs;
  • selling products directly via galleries, craft shops, studios, the internet etc.

Most ceramicists are self-employed/freelance or work for large ceramics/pottery companies (including Denby, Wedgewood and Royal Doulton). For experienced designers, opportunities also arise with large retail chains (such as Ikea and Habitat), although such vacancies attract strong competition. Jobs are advertised via the Internet, in local and national newspapers and trade publications including Design Week, Ceramic Review and Design Nation. Speculative applications are worthwhile, for which it is essential to produce a sound portfolio of design work to demonstrate creative/practical skills.

Alex Shimwell BA(Hons) Ceramic Design

Throwing is a meditative process, I make my ware intuitively letting the communication between my mind, hands and clay reach its own conclusion. I use reduction glazing and layer the glazes over one another to allow the glaze to act autonomously within the kiln environment.

Egg Pot – Jade

By admin



This style is a basic egg shaped pot.  They look great sitting on a patio table, fence ledge or nested in the grass and filled with spring flowers.  Available in five generous sizes that really compliment each other when placed as a set.

egg-pot-jade.jpg

Imported from South China, these ceramic pieces of pottery are made from white bisque instead of clay.  Having this kind of a base to start with gives this piece an advantage when it comes to colorful and vibrant glazes.  Each one is considered high quality yet traditional.  Some of the finishes like the Copper and Bronze have great shine and sparkle.  Our Jade and Oxblood red are traditional glazes with a lovely crackle finish.  Of course we would not be stating the obvious if we didn’t point out the new tri color glazing called “Fire and Ice”.  All pots are high fired, waterproof and come with a drain hole.  The styles are classic and unique.
