Emily Myers - Potter

Biography

 

Emily Myers studied ceramics at Bristol Polytechnic and Camberwell School of Art and has worked as a full-time potter since 1988. She moved from a workshop in London to a new workshop in a disused cow shed on a farm in Hampshire. Her pots and lidded containers in red and white clay are influenced by Islamic architecture. Their striking colours are produced by copper and barium glazes fired in an electric kiln. Her work is exhibited widely in the UK, Japan and New York.
