Julia Crimmen Ceramics
2026 – Taking part in Potfest South West – Shaftesbury
I studied a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at Falmouth University in 2006, where I discovered ceramics for the first time and was inspired to continue exploring this further, taking courses in throwing and glaze making and reading as much as I could on the subject. Over the following years, I have continued to experiment with different clays, designs and decoration, developing my own style.
Now, working full time from my garden studio in Cornwall, I hand throw and hand decorate unique, functional homewares in both stoneware and porcelain clays, alongside hand making small sculptural birds and animals, reflecting my love of the hedgerows and countryside around me.
I use a limited colour palette and simple dot and dash designs, alongside more detailed botanical images in muted tones and matt and satin textures, which I achieve using a wax resist technique. Creating a high quality, individual product is very important to me.
