Adventures with Clay

Colourful wheel thrown ceramics

Emma is an Edinburgh based maker working from her studio at Summerhall. Originally a jeweller Emma started her adventures in clay in 2019 by playing with porcelain slip and casting in some simple drop out molds. Later on she started to work with stoneware and slab rolling, before finally getting a wheel in April 2021.

Emma has an experimental approach to glazing, which has led her to discovering some fun techniques like her "swirly whirly" glaze pours. High fired and complex, layered glazing is Emma's focus and her pots, featuring glazes that have names like "Unicorn Dreams" and "Drifting Dunes" are instantly recognisable. Her pottery is fun, colourful and functional.
