BlueBell Ceramics
Ceramic artist, creating functional wares influenced by my local landscape
Hello!
My name is Blue Bell, I have been a Ceramacist for 8 years at Tresabenn Studio and worked in variouse potteries for short periods throughout my apprenticeship with the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust. after gaining this funding it afforded me a wonderful freedom to explore ceramics and experiment with different styles and techniques of making.
The pottery I make uses mainly earthenware clay and traditional slip-ware techniques.
Based in Cornwall on the south coast where I have grown up, my work is heavely influcned by the dramatic oustanding beauty here.
The majority of my work is functional. I belive pottery affords a wonderful oportunity for interactive art! I love to use hand made ceramics at home and find myself discovering somthing new each time I use a cup, plate or bowl.
My tableware is made in short runs that have a consistent thread of design but each run will be slightly different, fresh and unique. offten changing with the season!
As freelance ceramacist and pottery teacher, I take orders and have commisions from the Tate st Ives, Rosemullion Distillery, The Leach and variouse other small businesses.

Blue is a considerered and encouraging teacher, I feel supported in the technical aspects of learing a new craft whilst being given space to exsperiment and find my own style. I really appreciate working in such a relaxed yet orderly studio space.
