Matthew Blakely

My work emphasises the link between pottery and place, making place-specific pots entirely from rocks and clays that I have researched and responsibly collected from individual locations around the country. The glazes are blends of various rocks that I have crushed and prepared, and so are ceramic representations of the geology of those places. All the colours and textures are produced by the minerals present in these rocks. These are pots that have a story to tell.
