Hi, I'm Finola Delamere, a studio potter living in a small village between the country towns of Grantham and Melton Mowbray on the border of the counties of Leicestershire and Lincolnshire in the UK. 

 

I am taking part in the Rutland Artists Open Studios event www.rutlandopenstudios.co.uk this summer - over the three weekends from Sat 20th June until Sun 5th July. Our slogan is 'meet the local artists in their natural habitat'. I shall be working in my studio at Croxton Kerrial where you are very welcome to call in.

I throw pots on the wheel and I also handbuild ceramics ...

 

The wheel thrown pottery work is mainly domestic ware, although I particularly enjoy making bowls. I also make garden wall pots and birdbaths for outside the home. My handbuilt vessels are constructed from slabs of clay. All my work is made with a red earthenware clay which I dip in a tin glaze after the biscuit firing. I decorate the unfired glaze with brushwork in the maiolica tradition. 

 

 

 

All my work is impressed with a 'FIN' stamp when the clay is soft.

 

I have my own Gallery attached to my workshop in Croxton Kerrial in rural Leicestershire where my work is permanently exhibited. I also exhibit at other venues throughout the East Midlands.

 

Please view the work for sale here on my virtual galleries -prices range from £8.50 for a unique mug in my wheel thrown range and from £40-200 for my handbuilt pieces.
