Hall House Ceramics

All my work is thrown on the potter's wheel and I focus mainly on making functional ware.  The endless possibilities that exist within the vessel form are challenging and exciting and I want to make pottery that can be used and enjoyed in domestic life.

I work with different clay bodies but most of my functional work is made using porcelain.  I also hand build one off sculptural objects that are viewed as abstract but also provide functionality.

My inspiration comes from the Indian, African and Arabic cultural backgrounds that I am fortunate to have. 

I decorate my work using various techniques including painting and printing with oxides and slip.  All my work is fired in an electric kiln at 1260°C.

Ultimately I try to produce work that not only works well for its intended function but is also visually stimulating and tactilely rewarding.
