Come and meet Anne James at the Heritage Centre for one of our ‘Meet the Maker’ events.
Anne makes both functional and decorative ceramics using hand building techniques from her home studio in Wark.
Her work is influenced by her garden and the rural landscape of Northumberland, and a childhood growing up in Scotland, especially holidays to the West Coast. She creates texture with found objects such as wooden printing blocks, and wallpapers from her childhood home to produce beautiful jugs, bowls, vases and flower bricks.
Originally a scientist, the chemistry of glazing is a particular interest. Celedon glazes are her main passion because of their delicate finish.
Her work often combines antique glass with glazes to reflect the natural world.
A selection of Anne’s work is available to purchase for a 2 week period in our shop or directly from her on her Meet the Maker day on Saturday 22nd June.
