Elizabeth Newbury Ceramics

Elizabeth was taught by distinguished artists such as James Tower and Howard Hodgkin at Bath Academy of Art (Corsham) in the 1960s. There, the influence was pre-industrial English ceramics such as Staffordshire slipware rather than the Leach tradition.

Today, my ceramics aim to tell a ‘story’ using surfaces rather like canvases. Some reflect trips to Australia, the mind-blowing landscape and especially the artwork of the First Australians. Others reveal my interest in universal mark-making across time, faith and continents. Still more unveil my life in Oxford, whether digging on the allotments or happily mooching around the city’s fabulous museums.

David Mason Pottery

Over the last 15 years in addition to his working with earthenware pottery he has also been making woodfired stoneware working with Marcus O’Mahony in Lismore, County Waterford, Ireland. This work is very different to his earthenware pots. Form and texture play a much larger influence compared to slipware.

Amy Lou Stein

Amy has had many lives including working with music, textiles and plants. She discovered ceramics after many years of working in the arts. She loves marrying all of her creative loves with ceramics as the common thread that binds them all together.

A graduate of Pratt Institute she has recently moved to Oxford to continue her exploration of ceramics while she works towards an advanced degree in archeology.
