Charlotte Manser
The ability to craft an object from the materials found beneath our feet is what drives my passion to create.
Based just outside The Cotswolds; I explore the use of clay through hand-building large scale, organic forms and throwing functional pieces, for everyday use.
​
Hand thrown pieces includes; soap dishes, plates, bowls, mugs, and beakers etc. My pieces are colourful, with unique glazes that make them desirable to hold and use.
​
Large scale organic sculptures are informed by objects collected from the shore; objects altered and changed through their journey across the sea. Through balance, texture and a blend of glazes, these sculptures encourage discussion and draw the viewer into an extra-terrestrial world.
​
I graduated from Cardiff Metropolitan University with a first class degree in Ceramics in 2017. I was a Graduate Ceramic Intern for two years following my degree, where I taught ceramics at a school in Somerset. I am now working for a ceramicists, whilst continuing with my own practice.
