Bull, Donna

I am a hobby potter based in Doncaster working mainly in stoneware. I make functional and decorative hand-thrown pieces. I am fascinated by the medium that is clay and by the fire that transforms it. The metamorphosis from soft mud to beautiful sculptural ceramic by the power of fire will always surprise and delight me. I like to leave some of my pots unglazed, exposing the organic feel of the fired clay, but others are covered in homemade glazes that whilst being affected by many factors during the making and firing process are both tactile and synonymous with nature.
