STORY & PHILOSOPHY

Ridge & Furrow Ceramics is owned by me, Marisa Devonshire and based near Chipping Campden, in the Cotswolds. My work is functional stoneware pottery handmade in the Cotswolds.

​

Inspired by the many historic Ridge and Furrow fields in the local area, the name also reflects the throwing lines left on the surface of the pots. This is not the only way they mirror the landscape in which they are made, I use my background in illustration to draw natural elements into my practice and my aim is to bring more nature into the lives of others as well as my own as I bimble about the countryside taking pictures and sketching. 

​

I began my ceramics practice during my masters in Creative Practice in late 2018. I went to an induction in what was left of the ceramics studio and made my home there using every free moment to practice and absorb as much information as I could. I quickly found that the medium fulfilled my creative essence, I could make pieces that people could use and integrate into their daily routines and incorporate patterns and drawings.

​

When I'm not in the studio I am working in horticulture, tending my little garden and investigating the mini worlds in the woods.
