🏺 Meet the Makers | Part 11

We’re getting closer to completing our introduction to the 63 makers coming together at Oxford Ceramics Fair later this month.

Next up are:
@yothomstudiopottery
@annajthomson
@ali.tomlin
@soda_glaze_ruthanne
@craigunderhill6

Across their work, tradition meets experimentation. Japanese and British influences sit alongside architectural forms, expressive porcelain, soda-fired pots and surfaces shaped by the Cornish landscape.

Different materials. Different processes. Different perspectives on what a ceramic vessel can be.

And in less than four weeks, you’ll be able to discover all 63 makers under one roof in Oxford.

📅 31 October & 1 November 2026
📍 St Edward’s School, Oxford OX2 7NN
🎟️ Save by booking online in advance, with tickets for less than £10, with talks & demos included.

Under 16s go FREE, although a ticket is still required.

🏺 Meet the Makers | Part 10

This week, we’re taking a closer look at five makers whose work moves between vessel, sculpture and storytelling.

Meet:
@studiobrae Tokes Sharif
@irenasibrijns
@jennysoutham
@nicstaceceramics
@sarahsullivanceramics

Their inspiration takes us from archaeology and the Scottish landscape to the Suffolk coast, mythology, identity and prehistory.

Look closer and you’ll find foraged materials, coloured slips, painterly marks, contrasting clays and intricately carved surfaces.

Five distinctive practices and just a small taste of the breadth of ceramics coming together at Oxford Ceramics Fair.

📅 Saturday 31 October & Sunday 1 November 2026
📍 St Edward’s School, Oxford OX2 7NN
🎟️ Book online in advance for less than £10
Under 16s go FREE, ticket still required.
