Ceramics inspired by the Dorset Landscape.
I will be demonstrating how I attach component parts when hand building moon jars before going on to explore application of texture.
The presentation will follow this and explore the trials and tribulations of finding your voice in clay in a changing world.
At Ruth Readman Ceramics, I create hand-built ceramic pieces that capture the essence of Dorset’s breathtaking landscapes. Since graduating from Bath Spa University with a degree in 3D Design: Ceramics, I have been dedicated to making ceramic pieces that embody the textures, stories, and natural beauty of the Jurassic Coast.
Each piece I make carries a sense of place, infused with childhood memories and the rugged, ever-changing coastline. My handmade ceramics bridge the gap between functional design and artistic expression, offering both decorative ceramics and functional pottery that invite interaction and evoke a connection to the landscape.
As a hand-builder, working with clay is a slow, meditative process for me, and I believe that care and rhythm come through in the finished pieces. Whether you’re holding a mug, placing a plate on a table, or displaying a sculptural piece, I hope my ceramics bring a quiet joy to your space.
