Pam Schomberg FSDC

Each piece is individually hand built in porcelain, stoneware or chocware. Marks are made and patterns impressed into rolled out slabs of clay, with made or found tools. The pot is then built with sections from these slabs and fired. Colour is included at all stages, with the use of oxides, slips, glazes (dolomite or barium) and precious and on-glaze luster’s. Many are fired 3, 4 or sometimes 5 times.

Over the past 30 years Pam's work has been included in many exhibitions throughout GB and abroad; a collection bought by Liberty’s, London: exhibitions in Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh: Cecelia Coleman Gallery, St. Johns Wood: The Crypt-St Paul’s, the Barbican and shown in France, Germany and the USA, with a large collection of ‘coffee and tea sets’ ordered for Saudi Arabia.

Pam said 'As a potter you sort of know what you are making, but things change dramatically from when they go in a kiln to when they come out after firing. Nothing is ever quite as expected, there is always a surprise when the kiln door opens and the contents shine back at you...'
