About Me
​​
Sally Kent is a ceramicist inspired by the beautiful Somerset countryside and nearby Jurassic Coast. She loves the irregularity of natural forms and reflects these in both her thrown and hand-built pieces.
Working from a garden studio surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of nature, Sally's thrown domestic ware is heavily influenced by the changing seasons with glaze colours developing in unison with the rhythm of nature. She particularly enjoys working with porcelain to hand-build enormous bowls which are often imprinted with finds from the beach or the hedgerows and lined with metallic lustres and melted glass. Each of these bowls is incredibly special and shaped to contain the energy which surrounds us, lit with a candle they really are magical. The only way to experience these pieces is to hold them and feel the energy within.
Inspired by a recent throwing course at the famous Leach Pottery in St Ives, Sally's thrown domestic ware is designed to be loved and used on a daily basis. Sally firmly believes that each pot should bring joy to the person who chooses it.
"It seems reasonable to expect that beauty will emerge from a fusion of the individual character and culture of the potter, with the nature of his materials." Bernard Leach
