Sparks Pottery by Rhi

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator turned potter!

Hi, I’m Rhiannon!

I’m a colour obsessed creative working as a graphic designer and illustrator in the Publishing industry, in my spare time I’m a potter! I fell in love with ceramics in 2015 and have been potting ever since.

I design and hand-make everything from my studio shed at the bottom of my garden in west Wales.

I mainly make functional ceramics such as mugs and jugs but I also love making ceramic jewellery as well as larger decorative pieces.

Colour is a passion of mine across all my creative disciplines so I love nothing more than developing new mixes and swatches for my ceramics.

I work in stoneware clay which is high fired up to 1220 degrees centigrade. The whole making process can take 3 – 8 weeks to complete with many stages of making, refining, decorating, drying and firing involved. Each piece is a labour of love.

Primarily my work is wheel-thrown stoneware but I also dabble with hand building techniques. My focus is always on usability and I like to create functional pieces, focusing on form as well as aesthetics.
