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.
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.

This year I have had work on display at The Collection, Lincoln
&
at 78 Derngate, Northampton, the Charles Rennie Mackintosh House & Galleries.
My work was featured in the May edition of Collect it! magazine.

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.
