Northern Potters Association

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

Magson, Anna-Marie

I hand build my pots using slabs of an earthenware/stoneware mix and decorate with layers of coloured slips. The flattened surfaces of the vessels provide a canvas on which to work. I create fine detail by revealing shapes, lines, and marks through wax resist and sgraffito. I use a limited, muted palette of colours and a satin glaze to give a tactile, silky finish. I find inspiration in ancient structures, their weathered surfaces and the evidence of human mark-making alongside 20thC abstract art and sculpture
