LIBBY BALLARD CERAMICS

The coast has always been a huge influence on my work. From growing up on the Isle of Wight to studying at Brighton University, the calming effect of the coast and the stunning landscape has always been my starting point. Now working from my garden studio in Wiltshire, the colours and textures of the coast are what I love most and try to replicate throughout my work to this day.

I want my products to be relaxing and comforting to use, to make you feel that you are being spoilt in the little moments throughout your day, when you take that time to enjoy your cuppa!

All my products are made from a flecked Stoneware Clay that are mixed from a blend of two clays. I use the potters wheel to throw my work which gives it a handmade feel that I love and you get such an immediate result with the forms you make. Pieces are glazed in my own unique glaze recipes that are mixed up from a selection of ingredients bought from Bath Potters! It takes between 2-3 weeks for each piece to be completed.
