About RJ Ceramics
Hi I’m Rachel and I am a ceramicist living and working in beautiful Hampshire. I produce ceramics from both earthenware and stoneware and produce tableware that is colourful, beautiful and unique.
I am relatively new to ceramics but have been lucky enough to have found another true passion in life. Previously I did everything to do with horses, I competed internationally, taught and even rode around the pyramids as a child. Along side of that I renovated old farms, until a few years ago when I decided I needed a change of life style. Along with some lie in’s, I booked myself some pottery lessons and so the obsession began!
After a few months it appeared that I had a bit of a knack for throwing, more importantly I loved it, and to further hone my skills I acquired a traditional old wooden kick wheel and started potting at home. This then progressed to a kiln and people loved what I was producing and experimenting with.
During lockdown 2020 my hobby started getting serious and with some gentle encouragement RJ Ceramics was born!
I use a combination of techniques to produce my products. Some are thrown and turned on a wheel but my torn edge and simply lines collections are completely formed by just using my hands. I start with a lump of clay and after hitting, patting and moulding it, these beautiful bowls are born.
I’m thoroughly with colour, patterns and forms and I am always trying to make something a bit different from the norm. Each piece is unique, some maybe similar but they are never ever quite the same.
I hope you enjoy my work as much I did creating it. I have named some of my Collections after icecream flavours, random you may say, but they are definitely good enough to eat!
If you have any special requests please don’t hesitate to ask, just pop me an email or call me.
There are always more in the pipe line so if not immediately in stock it wont be long before they are again.
