About
Clare Palmer is a ceramic artist making abstract sculptures and vessels, using both hand building and throwing techniques.
Her work is rooted in the personal: exploring themes of emotional impact. She crafts her one-off sculptures and vessels in a variety of stoneware and porcelain clays, using her two favoured techniques: slab-building with organic-textured slabs; and throwing forms to cut, join and distort.
Oxides, engobes and glaze create subtle variations of colour and tone to reflect the narratives explored through the work. She came to clay relatively late in life – her first career being in advertising as a strategic planner in London advertising agencies.
