About Me

My name is Claire Stevens and I run Ash Barn Pottery, a small studio based in the South Norfolk countryside.  Working out of a old barn, I create functional ceramics inspired by my surroundings.  The North Norfolk coastline is not far away filling my head with blues, soft greens and sandy beiges, whilst the wide skies provide inspiration for a touch of yellow and orange.

The majority of my work is thrown by hand on my pottery wheel, before drying for a week or so and then going into the kiln for the first fire.  The piece is then glazed, dried and heads back into the kiln for a final fire.
