Linda Finch
I have been working as a potter and ceramicist for 10 years, after graduating from the University of Brighton, although my interest in ceramics began back in 2001 whilst on my art foundation course in Eastbourne. I am attracted to clay because the creative process is so direct; the hands transform the piece without the need for any intermediary tools. It is perhaps the most intimate of mediums.
My work ranges from tiles to tableware, sculptural pieces to jewellery. Ultimately I am a potter at heart. I get lost in the process of throwing on the wheel, which is at times frustrating but mostly rewarding, rather like ceramics in general.
My inspirations come from the natural world; a fasincation with patterns as seen on many of my tiles and thrown pieces; and from the natural interplay of different clays
