In early 2013 Online Ceramics potter, Rachel Wood, was invited to spend several months in Australia on a residency at the Sturt Craft Centre. The centre is situated in Mittagong, a small town close to Sydney. Rachel’s work has been strongly influenced and inspired from her time in Australia. To celebrate her time at the […]
This week Eddie Curtis was invited to choose his favourite pot and to say what drew him to that pot out of the 300 we have available on the website. Eddie went for Ben Brierley’s ‘Bulbous gestural vessel‘, certainly the heaviest pot on the website. This is what Eddie had to say: ‘Well to start with […]
Throughout October as part of our birthday celebrations we have asked some of our potters to choose their favourite pot. With almost 300 pots it was quite a task. We also asked them to explain their choice. We then discounted the chosen pot by a massive 20%. This week slab-built salt-glaze potter Ruth King has […]

There isn’t much of England left once you reach Mousehole, it is situated at the far westerly point of Cornwall, just before Lands End. The journey was worth it. We picked up magnificent soda fired porcelain vessels, most of […]

Barry makes them deliberately heavy and decorates them in bright slips, part of which he deliberately leaves unglazed. Online Ceramics Gallery owner, Peter Ward, said ‘we normally only feature potters with a minimum 10 years professional experience. Barry was under that […]

Based in South Wales, Joanna first trained as a scientist at Cambridge University before studying ceramics at Sir John Cass School of Art. She then went on to Harrow College of Art where she attended the renowned ceramics course […]
Tim Andrews is one of the UK’s greatest raku potters. The way he controls such a dynamic method of firing is masterly. Tim also produces the most elegant porcelain pots. We are particularly keen on Tim’s ‘three element stacks’ which combine both the raku and porcelain sections. We now 16 works by Tim Andrews available […]
