I am a ceramic artist designing functional and sculptural artworks‚ hand-painted tiles & commemorative wares to commission. I am happiest expressing my ideas through clay, creating richly coloured‚ decorative and tactile pieces of ceramics, which combines and plays with the functional boundaries and sculptural concepts.  Situated in the North East of Scotland in the beautiful surroundings of Royal Deeside, I find an abundance of inspiration for creating my ceramics and artwork.

FM4. Birds in the Woods 3 small pots max height 12   £75 for set

Work is white porcelain some with Oxides, some with printed paper.  I am influenced by place and time and often use textures from nature and man made objects found at a specific place on a visit with my porcelain clay, boards and a rolling pin.  I like the immediacy of the process and being out “on site” is one of the pleasures of this way of working.  I try to look at the textures of everything – cliffs, flowers and leaves but also cigarette butts and flattened tin cans if that is what I see! They all form the texture and experience of that place and time!

Stoneware is an excellent material with which to make practical pots. It’s hardwearing qualities when combined with reduction firing allow you to produce very varied and individual work. It is important to remember that the pots we use every day should be every bit as interesting and pleasant to handle as those we keep on the shelf.

We have been in business as Northumbrian craft pottery for twenty one years producing mainly sprig ware and functional pottery all hand thrown. We have recently however {perhaps slightly overdue} afforded ourselves time to experiment with porcelain and produce pieces more suitable for galleries under our own names Harding & Palmer. As we fire to high temperature with a reduction atmosphere we felt it would be fun to play about with some rich copper red and celadons with copper blush. We hope you feel that the results are appealing.

Have been making pottery in Edinburgh since the early 1970s, and now enjoy having more time for one-off pieces. These remain basically functional but give greater freedom to develop new forms and explore the richness of colour to be found in reduction glazes.
