Meet the Maker - Anne James Ceramics

Come and meet Anne James Ceramics at the Heritage Centre for another of this year’s ‘Meet the Maker’ events.

Anne makes both functional and decorative ceramics using hand building techniques from her home studio in Wark.

Her work is influenced by her garden and the rural landscape of Northumberland, and a childhood growing up in Scotland, especially holidays to the West Coast. She creates texture with found objects such as wooden printing blocks, and wallpapers from her childhood home to produce beautiful jugs, bowls, vases and flower bricks.

Originally a scientist, the chemistry of glazing is a particular interest. Celedon glazes are her main passion because of their delicate finish.
Her work often combines antique glass with glazes to reflect the natural world.


A selection of Anne’s work will be available to purchase for a short 2-week period in our shop from 22nd August, or directly from her on the Meet the Maker Day, where you can browse and purchase some of Anne’s ceramic works.
