Finola Delamere

I’ve been making functional pots on the wheel and by slab building for many years. I’ve experimented with earthenware and stoneware fired clays. White earthenware clay is great for colourful underglaze decoration, red earthenware for tin-glazed wares where the colours are more subtle. I’ve enjoyed using porcelain clay where I like using a satin glaze and just using blue and black brushwork. 

More recently I have taken to using coils of clay to make more sculptural pieces representing movement of the body. I’m currently using a grogged stoneware clay for this work.
