Gilly Whittington

I studied ceramics in Oxford UK before setting up my first workshop in 1993, when I also began teaching community education pottery classes in the Cotswold. I initially worked in earthenware with slip decoration, fired in an electric kiln.

A few years ago I went to an exhibition of Abstract Expressionist painters in London and was inspired to try to achieve abstract ‘paintings’ on my pots. Together with these Abstract Expressionist pots, I also make a small range of domestic ware, all dishwasher and microwave safe.

In 2021 I moved back to the UK from South West France and am now permanently in Oxford where I work from a small studio, and sell through various galleries and ceramic shows.
