Cobalt Mug

Ali Hewson

An artist currently living and working in East Anglia, UK. She makes ceramic tableware and vessels inspired by historical objects, handwriting studies and repeated motifs. Her work applies traditional techniques to contemporary forms, often looking to 17th century slipware and London Delftware pieces. 

A refined colour palette is led by materials; iron-heavy and white stoneware clays, and small batches of slip made by hand and carefully coloured with iron and cobalt oxides.
