Buxton Pottery first was conceived in the late 1980’s , and I found I was totally consumed by the processes and loved the art so much. But after having my children a change of direction saw the pottery take a back seat to other business ventures. I have spent the intervening years as a custom dressmaker and then morphing into an exclusive boutique selling unique occasion wear. After 30 years on the fashion path and covid bringing business to a halt, my passion was rekindled, and we have the reborn Buxton Pottery. I find making pottery a mesmerizing and relaxing endeavour, with so many ways to create something totally unique. Being a creative spirit, this is a perfect outlet and has brought many new learning opportunities with the exploration of new clays, forms, glaze combinations and ways to fire the pieces. I make mostly functional food-safe pieces. I throw, hand-build, combine the two, and alter. I love experimenting with forms and I love colour. Combining forms, colour and then putting homemade food into/onto my pieces – well – it’s a bit of heaven – the harmony that is created.
