The clay surface is as vulnerable as our skin to betray inner feeling and dilemma.”

After studying English Literature & Art History at University, Caroline Egleston pursued her own creative journey, drawn to the fresh and colourful brushwork of Italian tin-glazed earthenware. During a two-year ceramics diploma in Faenza, near Bologna, she could absorb the visual stimulation of Italian art and architecture and, on returning to the UK, she set up her workshop, creating ceramic wall scapes. She has received commissions for wall and tile compositions in the UK, Europe and the United States.

Caroline Egleston recently achieved distinction in a Ceramic Masters at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, Surrey. Her research explored painterly gesture on the ceramic surface.

“My work is experimental, like a writer seeking to articulate meaning, exploring language for connection - using clay pigments rather than words.”
