Georgie first fell in love with clay when she tried it as part of a window dressing course at the end of the 80’s and since then has never wanted to be anything other than a potter.
She studied Workshop Ceramics at Harrow from 1993-96 then ran her studio at The Chocolate Factory in Stoke Newington for ten years before moving to Surrey where she now has a garden studio.
Georgie creates distinctive vessels and bowls on her potter’s wheel. Each piece is unique, the decoration is cut from paper by hand and applied to the leather hard clay before adding layers of colour in the form of engobes that she mixes herself. The paper is then peeled back to reveal the bold graphic motifs before firing. She says she enjoys working within the constraints of the paper resist technique, continually refining her process of cutting and applying 2D shapes with her aim to create a visual balance between surface, form and pattern.
Pieces are fired to 1200oC and sanded after the final firing to create a smooth tactile finish.
She is a professional member of the CPA.
