Emily studied Fine Art Painting at Winchester School of Art before continuing with History of Art and Architecture after moving to Oxford.
She then spent more than ten years curating and promoting the work of artists and designer-makers, both independently and through her role at Arts at The Old Fire Station.
Emily creates ceramic artworks that explore our relationship with nature and the wider universe, and the parallels between external environments and internal experience. Her pieces sit somewhere between painting and collage, using layered colour, pattern, and surface to suggest movement, landscape, and emotion.
Her making process has developed over many years of experimenting with agateware and nerikomi techniques, as well as working with coloured clay bodies. Influenced by her background in fine art painting, her ceramics combine painterly composition with the tactile qualities of clay. Further information about her process and images of her work can be found on her website.
