Aeyglom by Aey

Ceramicist, West Sussex, UK

Aey Aspdin works from her garden studio in West Sussex. She mainly works in porcelain with a technique called slip casting. Each piece is handmade in small batches using this industrial technique.

She describes her process, “This intricate process involves pouring liquid porcelain into plaster moulds to form a layer inside the mould, with time and patience, requiring careful handling and drying to prevent warping during firing. Each piece is cast with layers of both natural and coloured porcelain slip giving clean lines and bold colours. The individual pieces are carefully hand-finished, glazed inside and polished to give a soft tactile feel.”

“I love working with porcelain, although it can be very challenging! The material is very delicate and prone to mistakes, but the final finish is very smooth and has a luxurious feel”

Rachel Entwistle

Ceramicist, Brighton, UK

Rachel mostly works in stoneware and produces beautiful tableware, including mugs, tumblers, plates and bowels.

Her studio is part of 19a, an arts space based in the Hollingdean area of Brighton. Its a community of artists in residence with a gallery and workshops.

“My ceramics have a modern rustic look and feel to them and demonstrate my passion for simplicity in line, colour and shape. My palette includes shades of blue, pink and glossy white in varying combinations. I like to play around with overlaying these colours, this can create some beautiful effects.”
