Leigh Hicks – Oxfordshire Artweeks

317 Leigh Hicks

Region: Woodstock – North & West

Artform: Ceramics, Pottery

I strive to make beautiful, visually pleasing and eye-catching items, that are first and foremost functional, to be used day to day and to bring a smile to daily life! My work is informed by my background in Graphic Design and the ever inspiring shapes in nature.
Clay has been part of my creative practice since my schooldays. Following many years of classes, workshops and a pottery apprenticeship I set up my own West Oxfordshire based studio in 2020. At the moment I work primarily with white and toasted stoneware clay. I throw in clean bold lines and decorated with strong graphic shapes, using sgraffito or unglazed areas, contrasting colours and shapes.
I am delighted to be exhibiting with many talented artists at Kingfisher Studios & Gallery, in their new location for 2026!
