Handmade in her Preston pottery studio, Belinda Wiltshire’s ceramic artworks are created using a combination of wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. Each one-off piece is made with a spontaneity for design and love of form in mind.
My works are comprised of a selection of what you might call building blocks. Each final piece is a compilation of smaller basic forms which are then stacked and joined. The overall process happens organically, without any rigid planning as a way to give the handcrafted results an extra sense of character. It also means each piece is a one-off.
Somewhere around 2020 I was introduced to the work of Bauhaus designer Oskar Schlemmer and began experimenting with quite a specific set of self-imposed visual guidelines inspired by what I saw in his work; Geometry and balance, the unexpected, elegance, a human touch, and a sense of humour. Although I have moved forward from his initial influence, I hope to always retain these elements in my work.
