Introduction
Ceri worked as a studio assistant to Sasha Wardell and was awarded an apprenticeship through the Adopt a Potter scheme. More recently she has studied Contemporary Art Practice at Bath Spa University. She was one of the finalists for the prestigious Porthleven Prize in 2020 and has held solo and joint exhibitions within the university and independently.
Ceri has developed her own expressive style, and shows clear understanding of the limitations of working with Fine Bone China and continues to test the boundaries of this in her explorations.
Ceri Shaw
Ceri is a multi disciplinary artist exploring themes around immersion in landscape and the human relationship to our environment. Her background is in ceramics, specifically fine bone china slip casting and this process of continued making and playing informs other avenues of enquiry of a more conceptual nature.
On the one hand she makes vessels in small batches. No two pieces are the same. At the core of her practice is the search for belonging in landscape. and the awareness they create of how small and insignificant we are in the context of the land we live in.
