Ceramic Artist
WORKSHOP STYLE
Hands on, gritty, earthy.
STEPH SAYS:
Clay is so tactile, you have to be in the moment, let go of expectations you have to be really immersed in the material and it brings you into the present. For me, digging clay from the landscape creates deep connections to place and time. I have a degree in ceramics from Edinburgh College of Art. Working with the clay around Ballarat, it’s like alchemy, I’m making gold out of dirt, it’s a magical experience.
