Vicky working on a breadpot in her workshop surrounding by inspiration pictures and pieces collected over the years.

I work in a beautiful converted stable in Yarpole, Herefordshire, where I build a range of rustic, contemporary ceramics with grogged stoneware clays, including a gritty, wild, Welsh clay.

All my work is made using simple handbuilding techniques. Pressing soft clay over terrracotta moulds, I make bowls and plates. I hand coil to build vases and larger vessels.

My work extends beyond my own ceramics and includes running creative pottery programmes/projects for a number of charities and school groups throughout Wales & England, designing and making dinnerware for a Michelin star restaurant and organising twice monthly pottery sessions in my workshop teaching small groups.
