Ceramics

Gemma Smale is an Essex based ceramic artist, a recent graduate of Ceramic Design at Central Saint Martins. Trained in wheel throwing her work includes ongoing material research with focus on hand sourced materials and continuous explorations into utilizing collected materials to create a deeper connection between consumers and ceramic art through material narratives. Current experiments include the use of waste materials such as ash, iron scraps from local black smiths and organic waste materials in combination with clay. Focusing now on traditional methods of firing with wood to create depth of surface and one off pieces. With the objective of gradually reducing reliance on mined materials within her surface decoration.

イギリス・エセックスを拠点とする陶芸家。セントラル・セント・マーチンズで磁器デザインを学び、卒業。手作業で採取した素材に焦点を当てた継続的な素材研究と、収集した素材を活用する探究を通じて、消費者と陶芸との間に素材の物語を介したより深い結びつきを生み出そうとしている。
