!After working as artist in residence, lecturer and technician Wendy Kershaw is now a full time ceramicist. Based in an old farmhouse, in a glen near Lochwinnoch, Scotland.
!Wendy creates narrative illustrations on porcelain, usually in the form of framed panels, but also porcelain books and folding screens. She intricately builds up rich layers of imagery, by etching into porcelain with needles,

then working in stains, transfers and on-glaze. Her skilful techniques and multiple firings produce unique detailed images.
!The themes that she illustrates range from the poetry of Keats and Tennyson, celebrations of the small joys of life and her own stories.
!A large influence on her work were three residencies in China, where she was invited after her work was exhibited in America. These were in the historic porcelain capital of Jingdezhen, Shanghai and as part of the UK delegation to the FuLe International Ceramic Art Museums.
!An award winning ceramicist Wendy exhibits in the UK and internationally, and has work in the permanent collections of two museums in China.

I’m having a bit of a quiet year, and won’t be at my usual Potfest shows, Potfest Scotland, Potfest by the Lake and Potfest in the Park, but I will be at Potfest in the City, Glasgow, November 27th - 29th. I’ll miss being part of these wonderful events, meeting so many folk that come to see the huge range of ceramics for sale, will miss the chats, and of course miss all my pottery friends, and their work. I enjoy looking round the marquees early in the morning, and seeing the work, of how it’s displayed and sharing photos of it. I love camping out and having time with the big ceramics tribe, from functional throwers to sculptors to those that fit into no category whatsoever. Most of us work on our own, something that’s a luxury to me, but the year balances out with catching up with others who work with clay, in such different and unique ways. I’ll miss it all, but am enjoying the lack of stress, of the deadlines, of having a break to rethink, and to have time for other things. The Potfest shows have already started, if you get the chance to visit them then do ! .co.uk
