Tamsin Gifford

i am a contempary ceramic artist. i am from U.K but i live in Portugal.
i am passionate about my ceramic practice. i work mainly with stoneware clay, raw oxides and gold lustre.
i enjoy abstract fast painting and decoration, spontaneous marks and touches of gold.

i am continually inspired by organic form and also history and archaeology.
i like the simplicity of ancient functional pottery. inspiration for my forms , which are often organic and earthy.

Then decorated in contrast with loud, fast brushstrokes. finished with splashes of gold

sustainability is important to me and i try and use it wherever i can in my practice.
