Clare Conrad

Dramatic contrasts of light and dark, craggy and smooth, together with the texture of aging artefacts have been my main artistic focus for many years. I have developed my technique of layering vitreous slips to evoke sun-worn, weathered surfaces that try to capture the point between existence and decay; pigments are mixed and intermixed to give subtle colours. Using the wheel and firing to stoneware I try to make vessels that encompass these concerns and, for all the drama, result in calm, elegant, contemporary pieces. Since my hons. degree course at Bristol (U.W.E) I have exhibited widely in the UK and abroad and have been elected Fellow of The Craft Potters Association.
