Omer Oner repurposes found objects by assembling them into ceramic forms using mould-making and slip-casting techniques. Discarded items like door handles, bed knobs, and metal fragments are transformed into ceramic, preserving their essence while altering their materiality. This process turns these objects into hybrid ceramic pieces, retaining their original characteristics but giving them new functions and meanings. Omer finds the transition process fascinating, situating his practice within the historic tradition of using clay as an imitative and reproduction material. His work explores transformation and regeneration, emphasizing the creative potential in overlooked items. Omer Oner is a Turkish artist, holding a BA and an MA in Medieval History. He has worked as a lecturer and researcher in Turkey and pursued studies in the Central Saint Martins BA Ceramic Design course in London. His creative journey has been shaped by his educational background and a fascination with the creative power of found objects.

The wheel thrown porcelain pieces I create are both functional and sculptural. Their modern clean crisp lines, alongside the purity of the porcelain, create a contrast for the strong cobalt lines that cut through the surfaces. The wheel enables me to experiment with variations of form that I want the viewer to be drawn to. The surface of each piece is linked by one continuous line that allows your eyes to travel over the contours of the form. The drawings are playful and encourage your eye to travel from the outside surface, over edges, around the interiors and under the base, often connecting two pieces together through careful positioning. Drawing has always been an intrinsic part of my work; the form of each vessel becomes the blank canvas in which I can translate the marks I produce inspired by the walks I take, the maps I follow and life’s twists and turns.

Paul’s work focuses on the simplicity the raw material, revealing the natural beauty and refinement of the clay body. There is a purity to the forms that are often dissected and reassembled creating movement and seams running through the work. The final stage of sealing waxing and polishing brings the natural surface to life.
My most recent work is predominantly made using porcelain. Using both white and black as solid colors, and combining them to create various shades of grey. My work is thrown, then often dissected and rejoined to create seams and movement. The vessels are sanded after the bisque and final firing which is to 1260 c. I then use a ceramic liquid quartz to seal the work, they are then waxed and polished creating a natural sheen.

Simon Olley is a potter and ceramic artist who is fascinated by the relationship that develops between man and man’s best friend. His thrown work combines illustration and sgraffito to depict and celebrate the exciting (sometimes imaginary) life of his Labrador Retriever (the least demanding of supermodels) in permanent, everlasting ceramic form – so much easier to keep clean than the real thing! He also undertakes commissions worldwide, often based around an owner's favourite four-legged friends.

Margaret has been working as a creative studio potter exploring thrown translucent porcelain with light for many years. It is the quality of light that is transmitted when fine high-fired porcelain is lit up that has driven her to explore ways of combining light within the porcelain forms. Her inspiration can come from anywhere stemming from the potters wheel and the nature of the material. She has travelled extensively which has greatly influenced her work, giving workshops at home and abroad.

The perfect opportunity to see two heads working as one. Drawing on their individual talents and strengths we have established a range of work that is both popular and collectable.
Inspiration is drawn from human animal and bird form on an ever changing basis. We use texture, rhythm and colour into the clay to convey movement presence and humour into the work, these qualities being all important in any piece.
