I work in clay and in mosaics, creating decorative pieces for homes and gardens. Our local wildlife is often the inspiration for my ceramics. I salvage broken pottery from Silverdale shore and other places, and enjoy giving it a new life.
Venue: St John’s Church Room
Wendy Johnson
Wendy’s ceramics are delightful to touch and hold, each unique ceramic piece re-images the waters edge, where land, sea and sunlight interact. With hand painted local birds flying in each day, come along and enjoy them too.

Deborah Robinson – Tarnside Ceramics
Recently inspired by archive footage of the Morecambe Bay Swimming Challenge I endeavour to convey the powerful emotions that swimming in cold water can produce, both euphoria and mindful calm. Sculpting in stoneware I finish my pieces in oxides and underglaze.

Oh if I had my time again I would have been a potter! Having taken up pottery later on, I have enjoyed developing skills and ideas for making ceramics. I have my own studio in Storth where I throw and hand build my pots, some functional and some just for arts sake. I cannot say I have “a style” and I want my makes to be viewed as individual and quite obviously not made in a factory so you will certainly find an eclectic mix of pieces available.

Lara Clahane – Halecat Pottery
Inspired by the local landscape, the ripples in Morecambe Bay, the reflective deeps of the Lakes and the damson orchards around her studio at Halecat House, Witherslack, Lara hand throws functional and decorative pottery in stoneware and porcelain.
She decorates her work using slips and glazes developed to her own recipes, that include Halecat clay, slate dust and Morecambe Bay mud, that create a subtle natural finish.

I make a wide range of beautiful, hard wearing and functional pots for everyday use, at a reasonable price. Individual pieces are often influenced by Morecambe Bay, its colours and found materials.
