About Artist

Emily Myers has made a series of new small pots and vessels representing her signature pieces. Each can be appreciated for it’s individual form or in an installation of multiple pieces.

Since an early age Myers has found her voice through ceramics, starting with an influential teacher at school. The making of her decorative pots and vessel starts on the potters wheel, she works in stoneware, often using Barium glazes that give a matt finish and contrasting this with gloss black glaze inside.

Her focus and gentle nurturing of each vessel into life can only inspire: Forming, shaping, turning, drawing, carving, glazing. She returns again and again to gain her perfection. These are objects demanding admiration and giving joy.

Emily was recently featured at Ceramic Review, where you will find a short film in which she gives a step-by-step masterclass describing the process of creating her signature Carved Ball forms.
Please enjoy this Link to Ceramic Review short film – as witness her making in her studio.
