"Living and working in a converted granite 1836 Wesleyan chapel, high above Falmouth Bay with views of the coast, I feel I am steeped in the beauty of the Cornish landscape and its history.
"Sources for colours are found in the changing fields seen from my window, hedgerows of gorse and hawthorn, wild flowers, sky and sea. Patterns are abstracted from granite walls, field lines, cliff and rock strata and sea and surf lines. I am constantly inspired and energised by my surroundings.
"The pots are individually hand built, creating an organic asymmetrical shape, which must spring from the base to create a continuous curve. The rims are pinched and uneven, resembling slate edges on the chapel roof.
"The pots are like a collage, so the colours and patterns go all the way through, rather than just the coated surface. When leather hard they are burnished with a pebble and high-fired. The burnishing produces a surface that echoes wind polished geology, time weathered rocks and tactile pebbles smoothed by the surf." - Charlotte Jones
