Wendy Green

Wendy Green uses clay in two distinct ways: on the potterís wheel for making useful pots and for handbuilding one-off decorative pieces. She finds working with clay endlessly fascinating, as the malleable material and powdery glazes are transformed into durable decorative objects with the help of the kiln and fuel. It is a lifelong addiction.

In her thrown work, mainly bowls and vases, Wendy aims for the feeling of strength and tactile quality which only very highly fired stoneware and porcelain have.

Her sculptural pieces are made by coiling, a technique which gives enormous scope in shape, size and texture. Her inspiration for this comes mainly from oriental artefacts and from modern European sources.
