Gina Gow Ceramics

I grew up in Guyana, South America where artists had much to inspire them. The women of my family were very resourceful and artistic and my mother was an accomplished ceramicist. My own ceramic adventure started more recently and I am enjoying the process and exploration.

Creativity comes from a place of curiosity and I often start projects with the question, how can I recreate that shape, that texture or that technique? I am excited by the path from lump of clay to final form especially if it is by way of challenge and resolution, and often take clay with me on my travels.

People talk about the unpredictability of ceramics; this can be a blessing and a frustration, but whichever, I have found it is always a lesson in acceptance.

I live in Orford, East Suffolk, UK.
