Alison Wren
Alison Wren specializes in crafting wheel-thrown decorative and functional stoneware ceramics. Her artistic vision revolves around creating pared-back and elegant forms that exude stillness and balance. Alison employs a diverse range of clays and glazes to produce subtle variations in her color palette, drawing inspiration from natural materials and the surrounding landscape. She finds herself particularly drawn to wide open spaces, the sea and sky, sand, and pebbles, which subtly influence her work.
Additionally, Alison finds inspiration in the subtle tones and compositions found in the paintings of Giorgio Morandi. Her academic background includes graduating in Ceramic Design from Staffordshire University in the 1990s.
