About the Artist
'I am informed by details from nature, both around me and from my memories of growing up in a rugged landscape in Norway. I find constant inspiration in craggy rocks, lichen, moss and layered tree bark, as well as urban decay. My primary interests are texture and natural, undulating forms, and I am constantly exploring new techniques, blends of materials and an array of found objects I use as tools. I work with a range of stoneware and porcelain clays, and layers of slips, oxides, natural ash, organic inclusions and my own range of glazes.'
Lise Herud Braten had a 20 year career in bespoke tailoring and haute couture before coming to ceramics. 'I find similarities in respect of working with a malleable material in the creation of three-dimensional forms, however, with clay I am able to work in a very free and organic way as opposed to the very precise art of tailoring'. -Lise Herud Braten
After completing 5 years at Putney School of Art under John Dawson in 2007, as well as highly influential courses with Shozo Michikawa, John Higgins and Hazel Richards, Lise's work has been exhibited across the UK.
She now works from the Kiln Rooms, Peckham.

Kirsty Adam’s work is both functional and holds aesthetic meaning, retaining the spontaneity and delicacy intrinsic to making on the potters’ wheel. A Japanese comb tool is used to create and enhance the throwing lines. Her Icelandic collection is the culmination of a research trip to Iceland to express the ‘otherworldliness’ of the landscape.
Kirsty is an award-winning ceramicist currently working from her studio in Newcastle upon Tyne. She originally trained at Brighton Art College and then on the potters’ wheel in Japan. She has developed a personal approach to throwing on the wheel using porcelain clay, to produce unique pieces for the home.
