I'm Esther, a designer and maker based in Bristol. I make useful, intriguing and beautiful things from tableware to lighting in my Bristol studio. I work mainly with porcelain and stoneware clays, using moulds and casting techniques, sometimes combining clay with other materials; knitted textiles, laser cut steel, heat sensitive surface coatings. My work combines a design aesthetic with craft making skills, and everything is hand made by me.
I balance my studio work with the day-job. I work for a small company with a lovely bunch of people, but it does mean I am often found up to my elbows in plaster at half past midnight. I studied ceramics on the BA course at Bath School of Art and Design, a beautiful city to live and learn in. They stopped running the course just after I left, which makes me something of a rare beast nowadays. This blog is about my work, from the mess and experiments all the way through making to getting it out there at markets and everything in between.
