John Baldwin

John picked up clay again three years ago after a long absence, but has since found his feet throwing and altering forms.  Whilst still developing, his aesthetic reflects traditional and contemporary themes with an interest in where the clay comes from as well as it’s inherent qualities.  In the last year there has been more of a focus on vases and bowls, so if you think you might be interested in owning one of his unique pieces, come along and meet him in person at this years BEAT.

Emily Fuller

Colour is vital to Emily’s work. She has been focusing on decorative ceramic ware using colourful underglazes and slips.  Her hand painted and sgraffito tiles are inspired by medieval floor tiles and Venetian Basilica mosaic flooring. She strives to recreate the look and feel of ancient artefacts by purposefully introducing distress in her pieces, though they are totally functional.

Frankie Rodrigues-Hesketh

Hi, I’m Frankie, the maker behind One Blue One Ceramics. Having grown up by the sea, I’m constantly inspired by its shapes, textures and ever-changing movement. Now based in London, I create handmade stoneware and porcelain pieces that capture those memories and celebrate the beauty of the natural world and the imperfections that make each piece unique.

Shaan

My passion for clay started at the age of 7, during our family visit to India. Whilst on our travels by steam train, my dad brought us hot milk at Hill station in red earthenware pots! I loved the pots and wondered how they were made. This was the beginning of my fascination with clay and has remained to this day.

Fran Percival

Fran began her pottery life in early 2023 at Hanwell Pottery, focusing initially on learning to throw pots on the wheel and experimenting with mixtures of glazes to decorate them. More recently she has also been hand building pieces to decorate with sgrafitto, often combined with oxides to accentuate the textures she creates. She uses a mainly blue-green colour palette and takes inspiration from birds, plants and other natural forms for her designs.

Emily Fawell

Emily Fawell is exhibiting for the second time at BEAT. She loves everything about pottery especially the decoration and is a big fan of sgrafitto.
