Guest Maker: The Totnes Potters
Retail Gallery 13th April - May 2024
The Totnes Potters is a small group of 12 potters, ceramic artists, sculptors and teachers, living and working in and around Totnes. The Totnes Potters was established in 2020 through a shared love of clay.
For this Guest Maker Opportunity at MAKE Southwest the Potters have a created a small collaborative exhibition called ‘Pour’ showcasing their individual styles and the diversity of clay.
The Group:
Caroline Aisher: Teacher of Ceramics. Works with stoneware hand building and throwing.
Lucy Bell: Teacher of Ceramics. Barrel-Fires thrown forms.
Alys Brooker: Teacher of Ceramics. Throws in stoneware and glazes with distinctive turquoise glazes.
Alison Hannah: Teacher of Ceramics. Thrown and slabwork using porcelain and stoneware decorated with original artwork.

Janice Tall: Thrown and hand-built stoneware with highly unique glazes influenced by Janice’s background in science.
