- LAUNCHPAD
Gemma Smale is an Essex based ceramic artist, a recent graduate of Ceramic Design at Central Saint Martins. Trained in wheel throwing her work includes ongoing material research with focus on hand sourced materials and continuous explorations into utilizing collected materials to create a deeper connection between consumers and ceramic art through material narratives.
Through research in ceramic traditions and regional wares she has gained insight into how to begin playing with collected waste materials and local materials. Current experiments include the use of waste materials such as ash, iron scraps from local black smiths and clays. Focusing now on traditional methods of firing with wood to create depth of surface and one off pieces. With the objective of gradually reducing reliance on mined materials within her surface decoration.
