Rachel is an artist working with ceramics and photography. Working primarily with porcelain, her work has a focus on design and materiality. Through simple refined forms she creates crafted pieces that celebrate the purity and expressive potential of porcelain, continually searching for moments of quiet magic within the material.
Inspired by the landscape and the ever changing patterns created by light, Rachel’s work reflects a sensitivity to atmosphere, form and natural beauty.
Using slab-building techniques and a modernist aesthetic, her work demonstrates a reductive approach to composition, resulting in minimal forms that are activated by contrasts of abstract surface decoration, subtle textural details and gradients of colour.
Rachel is based in Frome, Somerset. After studying ceramics in Cardiff she set up her studio practice in 2005. She exhibits across the UK and internationally, is included in the prestigious Homo Faber guide and won the Prize of Ceramics in the Authentique International exhibition at Ceramic Art Andenne, Belgium, 2025.
