Alison West
From her studio in Chagford, Dartmoor, Alison West Ceramics creates natural & thoughtfully produced tableware and vessels to cherish forever. She creates an environment of combustible materials that will use the fire as a painter uses a brush to create natural surface pattern.
Alison’s ceramics are SAGGAR FIRED, a process in which pots are placed in a gas kiln in a container (a saggar) together with locally sourced combustible materials ranging from pine cones, beech nuts, grasses, fungi, ferns, seaweed, wood shavings and naturally occurring minerals. Surface decoration is created from the combustible materials and local clay slips. Throughout the firing, the vapours of the ignited materials permeate the ware creating unique and natural pattern and decoration made entirely from these ingredients.
