Haworth, Anne

My work is inspired by the natural world and I find there are endless sources of inspiration in plant forms, leaves, thistles, seed pods, vegetables, fungus etc. I use traditional methods of making – coiling, pinching and slab-building – and for surface decoration use slips, stains, oxides and some glazes. I like to tweak the forms in a playful way so that I can try to echo the endless possibilities of nature with my own finishing touches . I have a BA hons in 3d design and Visual Studies and am embarking on a Masters in ceramics at the University of Central Lancashire.
