About Me
- Claudia Clare
- Artist who makes pots. Feminist - which often governs the decisions about what kind of pots to make. I also make pots with landscapes and roses and no discernible social comment. "Narrative, satirical, allegorical, and observational," according to Emma Ridgeway of Modern Art Oxford. I write - professionally - but it's not my main job. Author of 'Subversive Ceramics,' Bloomsbury 2016, and co-authored, 'The Pot Book,' with Edmund de Waal, Phaidon 2011.
Smashing Pots!
Read about the launch of 'And the Door Opened,' in November 2019. Pictured above is, 'Ten Thousand Men,' smashed to smithereens. The shards were taken to the studio, glazed, and pieced back together to form a new pot, 'Survivors and Fighters.'
