Clare Palmer is an emerging ceramic artist, working primarily in stoneware and porcelain. There are two strands to her practice: hand-built wall-hung and table-top sculptures; and thrown sculptural vessels.

Her work explores the contradiction between the veneers of order and control we show to the world and the private realities that lie hidden beneath the surface.

 She crafts her one-off pieces in a variety of stoneware and porcelain clays, using her two favoured techniques: slab-building with organic-textured slabs and throwing forms to cut, join and distort.
