A Lancashire based ceramic maker, Pip pushes porcelains capabilities employing both the fragility and strength of the material. Colour has always played a key role, mixing pigments into a porcelain body and achieving a kaleidoscope of joy. She sees a link between the creative process and emotional wellbeing; being creative is her therapy, her escape.
Pip has a BA Hons in Glass and Ceramics (2007-10), a PGCE in Art and Special Educational Needs (2016-17) and an Advanced Certificate in Counselling, (2019-21). Clay has taken Pip to America three times for artist residencies and exhibitions; she has taught ceramics in schools and colleges and used it as a wellbeing tool in the healthcare sector, both for inpatient and outpatient care. After a career helping others, Pip has come full circle, returning to Lancashire and to clay as a practicing artist. We can do brave things.
