Emily Myers

Emily Myers discovered she had a natural aptitude for ceramics when she first came across pottery at school at the age of 12; she has been working with clay ever since. After graduating with a degree in Ceramics from Bristol Polytechnic in 1987, she returned to her home town of London, and found she enjoyed working within a shared workshop environment, with other craftspeople.

A move to the countryside in the late 1990’s signalled a change in Emily’s work. Architectural influences gave way to organic ones. The rolling hills and ploughed furrows of North Hampshire were reflected in the carved lines within the pots. Inspiration was also drawn from found objects such as knapped flints and old metal cogs.

Emily is currently working with both porcelain and red stoneware clay. These contrasting clays provide the bright white, and chocolate brown backgrounds, on which the glazes react. The potter’s wheel is central to Emily’s studio practice. However she is not limited to the circular nature of the thrown pot and has extended her repertoire of forms by faceting, carving and altering the pots at the leather hard stage. She has developed a range of matt stoneware barium glazes fired in an electric kiln and aims to create well proportioned forms with subtle surfaces, that promote a feeling of tranquillity.

Emily Myers is a Crafts Council selected maker and member of the Craft Potters Association and has demonstrated regularly at Art in Action and other craft fairs. She has shown regularly in Bath and London as well as Tel Aviv, Hamburg, Paris and New York.
