Introducing Sarah…

Sarah visited friends in Edinburgh during Hogmanay 2023 and played with clay for the first time – making an enormous and very wonky mug, and a teeny tiny duck.

The process of making with her hands, needing to respect the timescales dictated by the clay and kiln, and embracing experiments opened up a whole new way of being.

Sarah’s mum Aafke was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in 2023 and the pottery studio became a place of sactuary. This, and some radical prioritisation, meant that ceramics have become more and more important to Sarah since then. Aafke died in February 2025 and Sarah donates all her makers proceeds to Blood Cancer UK in her memory.

Her work is constantly evolving and is free, nature informed, texture full and uses glazes with complete abandon! No two pieces will ever be the same….
