About Sharon
Sharon’s journey with clay began over thirty years ago, sparked by a deep fascination with the transformative power of earth and fire. Each piece begins as a humble lump of clay, shaped by skilled hands and guided by an artistic vision that celebrates both form and function.
Sharon completed a degree at UWE Bristol in ceramics and went on to set up a ceramics studio, exhibiting in various galleries, and taking on a number of teaching positions, which she thoroughly enjoyed. https://sharonwilliamspottery.co.uk/
