Vicky Ware Ceramics

Working from my studio in the Cambrian Mountains, I design and make rustic, contemporary ceramics. From beads to basins, mugs and breadpots, toast racks to tiles, plates for chefs and any commissions that come my way, I use a number of different clays, including a lovely gritty, toasty coloured wild clay from our own fields. I have been a working potter for over twenty years and I never tire of the joy of holding and shaping by hand a lump of clay that has come from the earth and making something useful from it. Many of my pieces are hand built which gives a wonderful tactile and raw quality to the object and imperfections that enhance the integrity of the finished work. I throw the Breadpots on a traditional pottery wheel. I find inspiration for colours and texture in my work on coastal walks - sand; lichen covered rocks; rock pools and am influenced daily by the world outside my pottery studio - a landscape of open moorland, pine forests and mountain streams. Vicky Ware Ceramics are available in my online shop and the full range is at my showroom adjacent to my workshop. I welcome visitors to my workshop and showroom- please call beforehand to check I'm here.
