Camilla Ward

Camilla's work is closely linked to the process of painting, using the ceramic surface as a canvas for her response to a literal and abstract personal landscape. The work is approachable and tactile, with matt exteriors with Braille-like spots, peg pieces or add-on tablets which are meant to be touched, contrasting with the glazed interiors.

The forms are slab-built in red earthenware clay. The surface is derived from undereglazes, slips, engobes and glazes and is scratched or embossed before and after forming. They are fired in an electric kiln.

Camilla has a BA in Visual & Cultural Studies and an MA in Ceramics from the University of Wolverhampton. She is a member of the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen and her pieces are shown in galleries across the UK.
