A series of craft work in focus from Welsh ceramic makers
Series curation: Wendy Lawrence
I make a range of functional earthenware pottery. Inspired by, but not bound to, traditional English and European slipware. Pots intended to be used and enjoyed.
Predominantly hand thrown and also using slab and mold techniques. I like to leave marks which highlight the qualities of the clay in its soft / wet state and to capture moments of the process.
I studied at U.W.E. Bristol 1995–98. I then worked for a short time at Gladstone Pottery Museum before finding work as a production thrower in Bristol. Only since moving to Wales in 2015 have I started to develop my own work.

13 Ionawr – 17 Mawrth 2024
Cyfres o waith crefft mewn ffocws gan wneuthurwyr serameg Cymreig
Curadur y gyfres: Wendy Lawrence
Rwy’n creu ystod o lestri pridd at ddefnydd. Cânt eu hysbrydoli gan grochenwaith slip Lloegr ac Ewrop ond nid ydyn nhw’n gaeth i’r traddodiad hwnnw. Llestri i’w defnyddio a’u mwynhau ydyn nhw.
Maen nhw wedi’u taflu â llaw yn bennaf a hefyd yn defnyddio technegau slab a mowldio. Rwy’n hoffi gadael marciau sy’n amlygu priodweddau’r clai yn ei gyflwr meddal / gwlyb a dal enydau o’r broses.
Astudiais ym Mhrifysgol Gorllewin Lloegr, Bryste 1995–98. Yna bûm yn gweithio am gyfnod byr yn y Gladstone Pottery Museum cyn dod o hyd i waith fel taflwr cynhyrchiad ym Mryste. Dim ond ers i mi symud i Gymru yn 2015 rwyf wedi dechrau datblygu fy ngwaith fy hun.

‘Walter Keeler makes ambitious, intelligent functional pots. These qualities stem from his passion for history, for craft and for stories told through everyday things. As a child he unearthed broken pots on the banks of the Thames and was fascinated to learn how they were made and used.
As a student and teacher during the early sixties, he found himself at the heart of the emerging and vibrant studio pottery movement. Today, with over forty years of making and teaching to his name, he continues to delight us with his distinctive approach to salt and earthenware glazes, which clothe the pots in tactile and tempting colours and textures.
His work can be found in museum collections around the world, as well as our kitchens and dining rooms. For many, Walter Keeler’s pots represent the very best in contemporary studio pottery, combining the skills of a craftsperson with an individual voice’. Julia Pitts. Essays by Emmanuel Cooper and Amanda Fielding.

‘Mae Walter Keeler yn gwneud potiau defnyddiol, uchelgeisiol a synhwyrol. Dyma ansoddau sy’n tarddu o’i angerdd tuag at hanes, am grefft ac am storïau’n cael eu hadrodd drwy bethau bob dydd. Fel plentyn arferai durio am ddarnau o hen botiau ar lannau’r Tafwys, wrth ei fodd yn dysgu sut oeddynt yn cael eu gwneud a’u defnyddio.
Fel myfyriwr ac athro yn ystod y chwedegau cynnar, cafodd ei hun ynghanol y symudiad crochenwaith stiwdio bywiog oedd yn datblygu. Heddiw, gyda deugain mlynedd a mwy o wneud a dysgu i’w enw, mae’n parhau i’n difyrru gyda’i ymdriniaeth nodedig o wydreddau halen a phriddwaith, yn gorchuddio’r potiau mewn lliwiau a gweuad dengar a chyffyrddadwy.
Gellir canfod ei waith mewn casgliadau amgueddfaol dros y byd, yn ogystal â’n ceginau a’n stafelloedd byw ni. I lawer mae potiau Walter Keeler yn cynrychioli’r gorau bosib mewn crochenwaith stiwdio cyfoes, gan gyfuno sgiliau crefftwr gyda llais unigol’. Julia Pitts. Traethodau gan Emmanuel Cooper ac Amanda Fielding.

“Mick Casson possessed the greatest gift: he inspired other people with confidence in themselves. He understood first hand the exigencies of making a living as a potter so his advice was always down-to-earth and realistic – and often punctuated by a wicked wit! He once told me that the pots we make express what we are or what we would like to be. Mick’s pots are intelligent and generous and life affirming.” Jane Hamlyn. Essays by Emmanuel Cooper and Amanda Fielding.

“Yr oedd Mick casson yn berchen un o’r doniau pennaf:llwyddodd I greu hyder mewn pobl. Yr oedd yn gwybod drwy brofiad beth yw’r holl ofynion sydd eu hangen er mwyn gwneud bywoliaeth fel crochenydd ac felly yr oedd ei gyngor bob amser yn ymarferol a realistig ac yn aml iawn yn llawn ffraethineb direidus! Dywedodd wrthyf un tro bod y llestri a wnawn yn bradychu beth ydym neu beth yr hoffem fod. Y mae llestri Mick yn ddeallusac yn hael ac yn ddatganiad o fywyd.” Jane Hamlyn. Traethodau gan Emmanuel Cooper a Amanda Fielding.
