The aim of the NPA is to encourage and support artists in the production of sculptural, functional, fine art and decorative studio pottery in all its forms throughout the North of England

Brayshaw, Alison

I make hand thrown pots using porcelain clay as it has an innate beauty and fineness. My pots are functional – semi domestic ware, they are for holding, using and displaying. I use the slip created during the throwing process to add depth to the finished surface of the pot. My pieces are dipped using a celadon and transparent glaze and fired in an oxidized atmosphere.
