Steve Smith
Steve specialises in wheel-thrown porcelain.
He attended Art College as a student but never quite found his place in the artistic world. Eventually he chose a different path, closer to nature. He discovered his passion for clay by pure chance, and has now come full circle to a place that feels like home – behind a potter’s wheel.
Steve’s inspiration comes from nature: ‘I love to play with the roughness of the clay on the outside, giving my creations a rawness that’s perfectly balanced by the peace and tranquillity of the smooth cool glaze inside’.
He is incredibly passionate about ceramic – pouring his heart and soul into every piece. For Steve it’s both a meditative process and a constant challenge.
He would define his work as minimalist, favouring shapes that are simple yet sophisticated, with clean lines and a quiet but powerful presence that works in any decor.
