Eleanor is a ceramicist at Glasgow Ceramics Studio, WASPS in the East end. She fell in love with clay in Denmark whilst at primary school, and the drive to make things out of what is essentially mud has never stopped. The work that Eleanor creates brings light, nature and inspiration into a space that warms the heart and makes you smile. Eleanor always encourages people to touch and handle her work and believes touch is part of the enjoyment of ceramics - there’s no look but don’t touch policy here. Each piece she creates is completely unique, a variety of techniques employed and use of light is continually explored. She creates tactile work with a combination of textures, matt effects, contrasting high gloss and uses a range of finishes to bring out the individual characteristics of each piece. She is fascinated with the diversity of clay and draws inspiration from the Scottish west coast and the clay itself.
