About karen fern ceramics

karen fern ceramics

simple ceramics for mindful moments

Hello, I’m Karen, a potter and founder of this small independent business.

Vessels are thrown on a potter’s wheel, glazed and intended to enhance the every day. Whether it is ‘hugging’ a handcrafted mug of morning coffee or enjoying supper from a beautifully glazed bowl; it’s the little things ~ simple, beautiful, mindful moments.

Each Monday I can be found at my studio in the woods. The open space, light and ever changing natural environment continues to inspire - one day sprinkles of sunlight play on my potter’s wheel as it spins; another the rain plays music on the roof as it drops from overhanging branches. A magical place for creativity to unfold.

Throwing clay is wonderfully relaxing; an all encompassing activity requiring total focus in each moment of time. I am continually enthralled by the way clay can be transformed by hand into something unique and beautiful.

I enjoy throwing with both terracotta and stoneware clay. The first draws me to the natural landscapes surrounding my studio whereas hues of rich blue glaze beautifully echo the oceans surrounding the Cornish coast and evoke a feeling of complete calm.
