Hannah has worked as a teacher and practitioner of Ceramics in Oxford since 1994 and has taught at schools, colleges, day centres, and hospitals, most recently at the Sunningwell School of Art.

 

Her work has been exhibited nationally, including the Craft Council shop at the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Scottish Gallery.

She has maintained a sculpture studio practice in Farthinghoe, just outside Banbury for over 25 years. Her background is in teaching children and adults in her native USA (San Francisco and the Bay Area) as well as in the UK. She is originally from New England, USA but now lives in Jericho, Oxford.

 

Although her artwork is synthesis of traditional representations depicting the human form, her particular interest is in artefacts and archetypal imagery, and their relevance to contemporary of times. Pam has exhibited, and has work in private collections in the USA, France and the UK.

Graduating with a Batchelor of Arts in Craft Design at De Montfort University in 2014, she has taught in schools and colleges, including St Edwards School and Wolvercote Young Peoples Club, and currently works with The Parasol Project in the school holidays. 

​

Quirky yet functional, her troubled tureens comment on the peculiar food industry, with press moulded forms from factory waste, and bright colourful glazes. Exhibitions include New Designers, The Forge Culham, and Oxford Art Weeks.

​

She loves the therapeutic quality of clay, the outdoor life, walking the dog on Port Meadow, and spending time on the allotment.

Fascinated with ceramic arts since childhood, Maia studied product design and worked professionally in design research for 10 years before transitioning to ceramics full-time.

 

Maia mainly works on the wheel and enjoys creating interesting forms that convey both playfulness and elegance. She typically makes vases, bowls, and planters/large vessels, but also enjoys creating jars, mugs and saucers, and tea sets. 

She then went on to complete a MA in Contemporary Crafts in 2012, majoring in ceramics.

 

Since then Miranda has exhibited with a group "WocArt" for Artworks, and has exhibited in Oxford with various collectives, @Realm in 2018 - 2020 and since 2020 with portablecollective. Miranda is currently working with artists from Bonn who have formed a BOX collective, resulting in exhibitions in both cities.

​

Miranda has run workshops teaching ceramics to friends and work colleagues in Oxford and Warwick, and is mostly found "playing with clay" in her garden studio.
