Amelia Kingston Art

Amelia Kingston Art AKA is sustainable pottery. Amelia Kingston’s work draws on elements of nature to incorporate into her ceramic home wares range.

These include bowls, cups, and planters, hanging planter pots, ring holders, vases, platters, plates and sculptural items. Amelia works primarily in a white glaze that she herself invented, that has both a matt but tactile feel to it, is beautiful to eat and drink from and is lovely to hold in ones hands. Her works are then overlaid with gold, bronze and silver lustres in a range of shapes. Of lat

e her work has drawn more on elements of the sea, using wave patterns that are overlaid in the ceramic, wave motifs that are made into the edges of bowls and platters, and cobalt oxides, overlaid with gold. Amelia also works on porcelain jewellery that is both beautiful and practical. Wherever possible she uses materials that are sourced locally and/or from sustainable industries. Amelia’s porcelain jewelry is often white, but cobalt blues have become a stand out feature amongst her work of late. Amelia Kingston's work explores the cultural resonance of castles as signifiers of power, wealth and prestige. Her fantastical ceramic castles are presented alongside prints of smaller houses and shanty towns. Often her work is on the wheel, but just as often she works on hand-building castles. Part of her inspiration is working as a Primary school arts teacher. It gives her the inspiration to include more naivety in her work and to look upon the childlike elements that ceramics can lend itself to. Amelia Kingston became a potter from the young age of 15 working with Val McCann (dec) to learn her craft. She travelled extensively throughout the world for inspiration and worked in Pennsylvania as a ceramics teacher for a time. When back in Australia, Amelia worked under the guiding hands of Peter Pilven and Claire Blake. Her work is inspired by those she teaches, has been taught and by ceramicists such as Janet DeBoos, Gwyn Hanssen-Piggott, Koji Hoashi and Richard Notkin.

Ok so I know this isn’t that exciting for some, but I’ve been trialing some new glazes. These are some of my tests so far. Glazes making is so interesting, complex and full of exciting variables! It’s something I’ve always enjoyed but rarely had time for. Now, that I’m just working on my pottery(mostly) I actually have time to test!
