Exhibition information

Bridget loves being creative and working to craft unique pieces, using porcelain or stoneware clay. She uses: textured clay, gold lustre, decals, and creates effects with understains on her pieces. Most of her work is slab-work but she also uses the wheel and creates molds to make slip casting pieces.

Bridget has several local outlets as well as selling her work from her studio in Somerset.  She also works in collaboration with other

artists

Over the past four years, Bridget has been leading ceramic projects for Seed Sedgemoor:  The Individuality Projects, starting with the Cheddar Individuality Project.  She  is currently  planning to take the  1,300 ceramic figures on tour.  Maybe you would like them to come to Oxford!

Artist information

Bridget was born and brought up in Oxfordshire and has lived in Somerset for over 35 years. Having lived here for so long, Somerset feels as though it is her home.

Eleven years ago, Bridget gave up her full-time job as a headteacher in Somerset and trained to be a ceramicist.  She had her  Victorian garage converted to a beautiful light and airy ceramics studio, where she now spends a great deal of her time.
