Editorial note: This is the fifth interview in the "Embracing the Squish" series by Hamish Jackson for Studio Potter. In this series, Hamish speaks with ceramic artists whose pots seem to defy the finality of the firing process – works that hold onto the softness, the movement, and the vulnerability of wet clay. These are pots that remember the hand, the squeeze, the gesture.
Hamish's conversations explore how these artists use clay’s most tactile qualities to express feeling, form, and meaning. From pinched mugs to slumped jars, these pots carry a sense of immediacy, even playfulness – a kind of looseness that invites both curiosity and comfort.
