ABOUT

Sarah Monk

I make small batch slipware in my Herefordshire studio at Eastnor Pottery, near Ledbury. Designs, include a unique selection of flower bricks and kitchen wares. My approach to potting is relaxed and playful, every piece is treated with an excitement and love of clay

Cups and bowls are wheel thrown, I slab build flower bricks and press-mould plates. Slips and colourful underglazes are brushed and splattered. Sgraffito designs are freely etched into the clay, making pieces pleasingly tactile. All creating happens at the wet clay stage and I finish every piece with a simple lead-free glaze. Little pieces of art for your home, to use and cherish.
