Collection: Adrift Pottery : Goodwick : Pembrokeshire

Graduating with a Fine Art Sculpture Degree from North Staffordshire in 1982 Karen worked in Community Arts before moving to Japan for 3 years where she studied Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) and taught English. Japan was an experience that continues to inspire her work.
Karen has worked with clay full time since 2009. Clay, especially red earthenware is her passion, making a modern version of traditional slipware. Each piece is individually made, usually hand built. Creamy slip (liquid clay) is brushed or poured on and the drawing is made directly on the slip revealing the red clay body- sgraffito. Using a limited palette of mainly raw iron, cobalt cobalt and copper oxide to add colour and depth to the work.

Karen makes pieces to be used daily to eat and drink from.
Taking inspiration directly from nature and the stunning wild landscape and coast of Pembrokeshire where she has made her home for the past 20 years.
