Marches Makers Festival Artist 2019
Nancy Frost

Why Clay?
As a material, clay has a life of its own.  It is wet, juicy, malleable.  If you approach it with respect it will do almost anything you ask of it.  When fired it acquires durability and a kind of permanence.  A successful form, though transformed into something fixed and hard, retains a vigour and a freshness which bring it to life.  Striving to achieve this is a journey that only gets more exciting. 

What I make:
I produce functional ware as well as work that is more expressive in nature. Making pottery that people choose to bring into their daily lives is deeply satisfying.  I believe that using an individually crafted dish at the dinner table can transform a meal from the everyday to the particular.

My sculptural work incorporates found objects – often driftwood – with individually modelled ceramic birds and nest forms.  As one living far from the place of my birth, I find potent symbolism in the way birds make their homes from the materials they find in their environment.

I work out of a back garden studio near Kington, which is open to visitors by appointment. I also organise and exhibit in a monthly Art and Craft Market in Kington, held on the third Saturday of every month from April to December.
