Hello, I'm Hilda and I'm a potter working from my studio in Surrey, UK. I've always been creative and at university trained as a set designer. I worked in TV, theatre and events before finding ceramics in 2014. I work mainly on the potters wheel, creating useful and beautiful pieces that can be used every day. I have a particular interest in carving pottery and the range of results you can achieve with a wide variety of carving techniques. I share my techniques and processes on my instagram account @hildacarrpottery and I hold workshops at my studio, teaching an 'Introduction to Throwing' course and introducing students to the satisfaction to be had from working with clay! My work can be purchased from my website hildacarrpottery.com and via a number of independent shops in the UK. My first book, 'Carve Your Clay' is to be published in April 2020.
