Higgodale & Hello Clay
Our Higgodale studio is a bright and unpretentious space for learning, making and exploring clay. You might have to reach past Fox the cat for your sculpting tool!
"I love balance and simplicity…
… and the slow unfolding of form. I’m drawn to that moment before perfection, where touch and tool are still visible and nothing feels too worked. Where the vessel is left to speak for itself - its marks, pauses and small imperfections all becoming part of the story."
- Joan Higgo, Owner and Ceramisist
Clay asks for patience...
… and a willingness to follow rather than control. The result is not perfection but an honesty refined through touch, instinct and time.
Each piece is made by hand, bringing its own character to the space it inhabits. Some are full of movement, others more considered.
There are no short cuts. Every piece is the result of many small decisions made along the way, shaped as much by intuition as by intention.
Rather than refining away every trace of the process, I prefer to embrace the textures, marks and nuances that give a piece its character.
