South Wales Potters

Vanessa Burley

My work is inspired by my love of texture, textiles and animals.

My ‘Animals ‘ are the heads of cats, dogs and ducks, dressed in outrageous clothing, all with Crazy Hats.

My ‘ Hat Pots ‘ have evolved from an early ‘Cats in Hats’ collection. I’ve developed the vintage and worn look to create colourful pots suitable for holding houseplants, kitchen utensils and artists brushes etc.

My ‘ Shipwreck Pots ‘ are thrown on the wheel and are then given jagged edges, textures and glazes to make them look like they have been retrieved from the ocean.
