Community Profile - Sarah Fraser @_sarah_fraser 🧱 Sarah Fraser is a ceramic artist whose practice centres around the collaborative efforts of people and communities, places and material, and how they come together to tell stories and shape the spaces around us. Fraser’s work typically makes use of reclaimed waste clay and explores how it can be transformed with energy and attention into a vehicle for expression and transformation. Her most recent completed project is Playscape, a large-scale interactive rammed earth artwork presented at the British Ceramics Biennial, 2025, for which she was the lead artist and producer. 🧱 “I have been working on the Spode Works site for over seven years now. It plays a vital role in the creative community in Stoke-on-Trent. The buildings and space echo with the hands and voices of the thousands of people who have worked here. The creative community on Spode, as well as the businesses that bring people here are vital for connecting to the living stories of the site to its past. Breathing freshness, friendship and positivity into the City. This is something that exists in spite of the crumbling buildings and needs to be valued. I have moved my studio here to Acava to be in this unique place where my creative community are, and I still pinch myself at how amazing it is to be working with clay at Spode.” 🧱 taken in Stoke Town Centre by @_sarah_fraser

In February I visited Gladstone Pottery Museum, spending the morning with my guide, Linda. I am particularly interested in the props and kiln furniture, used to support and protect the work whilst it was being fired in the coal-fuelled bottle ovens that Stoke-on-Trent is so famous for. Part of my research into structures that support. @gladstonepottery by @_sarah_fraser

I have been learning from Steve @dovetailwoodworking today and last week, how to use my router and making a jig to guide my cuts. Learned so much and feel so much more confident. All put into practice with making some new round batts and the first of the special brick moulds I have been planning on making for years. A birthday present of a voucher to work with Steve from lovely friends (only a year and a half later!!) 🗜️🪚 Thank you!!🤩 …did I mention it was FUN! ✏️ by @_sarah_fraser

In Stoke, our group has been working on an exciting project for the past couple of weeks! Together with @_sarah_fraser and @acavaspodeworks, we’ve been making tableware for our upcoming summer exhibition taking place during Refugee Week in June! In this first session, Sarah shared the basics of pottery, with some of us having a go at throwing on the wheel. The group decorated plates, choosing words like Awad (a gift), Free and Hope 🤍 Excited to share some of the plates, mugs and bowls that we made in the next session… by @_sarah_fraser
