ceramics

10 hours ago

Alison Brown (was Ciantar) was one of the three who helped set up Boilerhouse Gallery, along with Nick Crutchfield and Frances Pollard. She produced hand-built ceramics in the studio she shared with Lizzie Induni, often related to fish and birds that were exhibited in the Gallery.

After leaving the Gallery, for a time Alison concentrated more on making textiles but her love of ceramics didn’t leave her and she ended up doing a Masters in the subject at Bath Spa University.
She has now embarked on another adventure renovating a chapel in Devon and creating studios in a cobwebby piggery. She has plans to run courses there with her partner in ceramics, jewellery, and textiles and eco-printing and more. She exhibits widely in this country and abroad and last year was selected for the Hothouse crafts council creative business programme.
