Christine Gittins Ceramic Design
Christine Gittins is a potter and designer working from her studio in Wales, UK She specializes in thrown ceramics with raku and saggarfired finishes.
I have been working as a studio potter for more than forty years, initially in my country of birth, South Africa, and in Wales in the UK for the past twenty seven years.
My work is mostly thrown on the potters wheel and my interest is in form rather than function. I prefer working with the effects of fire on a burnished, unglazed clay surface and use various types of saggar firings to achieve distinctive colours and effects.
Recent work includes sculptural pieces and tile panels, as well as jewellery.
I regularly exhibit at ceramic fairs in the UK and in South Africa and my work can be found in a number of galleries in Wales and England.
I am a professional member of the British Craft Potters Association and also a member of South Wales Potters and Vale Makers, based in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan where I Iive.
