Ceri Shaw
Ceri is a ceramics artist working in fine bone china out of a studio near Bath.
Her theme is landscape and she produces hand made pieces in small batches. No two pieces are the same. At the core of her practice is the search for belonging in landscape. She focuses in on contrast between things and hence the balance. That could be a line in the sand made by the prevailing wind, the horizon line, or a river cutting through the rocks. The dividing lines or edges of natural forms interest her aesthetically, but also for the unpredictability they bring, the possibilities they suggest, and the awareness they create of how small and insignificant we are in the context of the land we live in.

Introduction
Ceri worked as a studio assistant to Sasha Wardell and was awarded an apprenticeship through the Adopt a Potter scheme. More recently she has studied Contemporary Art Practice at Bath Spa University. She was one of the finalists for the prestigious Porthleven Prize in 2020 and has held solo and joint exhibitions within the university and independently.
Ceri has developed her own expressive style, and shows clear understanding of the limitations of working with Fine Bone China and continues to test the boundaries of this in her explorations.
