Rhian Winslade Ceramics

Meet Rhian Winslade

Rhian is a ceramicist based in Windsor. She came to ceramics via an unconventional route, after study, many years of music retail and a family. She eventually found clay and hasn’t looked back. When not playing with clay she will probably be found at her allotment.

She loves the slow process of hand-building and takes inspiration from the natural world and the Welsh coastline where she grew up.

Her pots are hand coiled free-hand; made from a stoneware gritty clay and are extremely tactile. The outside of the pots are left free of glaze and textured contrasting with the smooth interior which is brightly glazed.

Her work includes a range of contemporary porcelain decorations, inspired by the beautiful simplicity of Scandinavian design and some functional items for the garden.

All of Rhian’s work comes perfectly packaged with features that can be customised. She is incapable of throwing anything away, so you will often find hidden gems in her work, such as found glass, fabric from her daughter’s old dresses, paper and driftwood to list a few.
