“In my work I explore ideas around half-forgotten memories and images that persist from childhood – perhaps a vintage wall paper, the stylised narrative of my Mother’s Willow Pattern plates, or the familiar shape of an opened sardine tin. I love the idea that, as a potter, I can capture half remembered images, ideas and fleeting moments in a form which, once fired, can last for ever.”

St Ives potter Sarah Dunstan has achieved international acclaim for her unique slab built work and in 2012 was elected Fellow of the Craft Potters Association in recognition of her contribution to contemporary ceramics.

On completing a degree in ceramics at Cardiff, Sarah returned to her native Cornwall in 1993 and has been a professional potter ever since. In 2002 she moved to the Gaolyard Studios founded by John Bedding and Sarah now works from a new studio at her home in St. Ives. Here she produces her distinctive, highly decorative ceramics, instantly recognisable for their rich velvety colours and intricate, hand-cut overlays.
