2026 Exhibitor
Ali Tomlin
Ali has always drawn and painted, and loves the energy of random lines or marks, from sketches, painting or just found. She is fascinated by how a line or mark can completely alter a piece.
Her work is a collection of thrown, simple, porcelain forms. She applies stains, oxides and slips onto the dry, clay surface, sponging and scraping away areas, inlaying lines and monoprinting. She aims for unpredictable marks with a feeling of movement and spontaneity. She uses a bold, but muted, palette on the white clay, which is left unglazed giving the porcelain a soft, tactile finish.
Ali Tomlin is a Selected Member of the Craft Potters Association.
