Andy van Vliet

Ceramicist

Based in Sheffield

“Brought up in Devon within a family of artisans; I always wanted to be outside and to make things. I first trained as a civil engineer and then a landscape architect developing skills and sensibilities that feed my distinctive approach to making pots; one that combines intuition, technical capability and a search for rightness.

A wheel and fire potter, I make things both useful and sculptural; each piece different and often in a series exploring ideas of form and materiality. Using stoneware clay, my work is reduction fired in a gas kiln to 1200C.  Limited colour palettes are often used; rough textured clay body tones and modelled surface melding with earthy, iron-rich glazes.”
