Laura Harvey

I live in Rowhedge on the River Colne in Essex and make small batches of ceramics in my garden thrown on a traditional kick wheel using porcelain, stoneware, earthenware and harvested local wild clay to make unique ceramics that are functional and beautiful.

Local wildlife and Essex landscape of the River Colne and marshes inspire the forms and glazes used in the pieces.

Sustainability is at the heart of all work to ensure that the processes used have a light touch on the earth. Clay scraps are recycled, water is reused and local plants are used to decorate the ceramics. Wild clay harvested locally is slowly processed and thrown to create beautiful permanent objects of symmetry from Essex mud.

I have a small amount of existing stock and take orders and commissions to create bespoke items.
