Έμμα Λουίζ Χαραλάμπους
Emma Louise studied Ceramics at Cardiff School of Art and Design, graduating in 2016.
Inspired by the ever-changing colour and light within the landscape, Emma Louise combines artistic expression with traditional craft skills and an innovative decorating technique to create abstract compositions on a clay canvas.
Emma Louise's work captures a sense of the landscape, her own experience communicated through colour and linear mark making.
Layers of ceramic slips are meticulously applied to finely rolled earthenware clay slabs, the vessels are assembled to create simple cylindrical forms, marrying form and surface so they become one indivisible unit.
Μαρία Πάρη
While still at school Maria displayed a talent for art and developed a keen interest in three-dimensional art in particular.
He later enrolled in a four-year degree course at the Athens School of Ceramics.
Maria throws with a clay from Stoke-on-Trent that is very rough and textured, with fine, stone-like sand particles, but is highly malleable. This allows him to achieve his characteristic fine yet textured finish.
Maria prefers matt glazes and natural oxides and the grainy exterior of his vessels are glazed in dark shades with soft coloured contrasting interiors.
