It all begins with clay.

Bridget Browne is a ceramist who works from her garden studio in Kingston-upon-Thames.

She creates wheel-thrown ceramics designed for everyday use. Each piece transforms from raw clay to a finished product through five stages and two firings.

Bridget’s passion for pottery began young, nurtured by a potter neighbour who shared her knowledge. The child whose favourite smell was rain on hot sand was possibly always destined to play with mud.
