Molly Attrill

Material: Ceramics | Location: Isle of Wight
Molly makes domestic pottery, the decoration of which has become a very distinctive aspect of her work. Her work with earthenware began with a studio pottery course at Farnham in the mid 70s before progressing to a Postgraduate Diploma in Art History at Winchester School of Art on the early 90s.

“My work mainly represents farmyard poultry and fish, these are my favourite themes. My influences are drawn from European earthenware; particularly Majolica and tin glaze traditions. Modernism and the legacy of Bernard Leach also play a key part. Bowls, jugs, tiles and other earthenwares are decorated using sgraffito, slip trailing, painting and wax-resist techniques.”
