Display artist/maker:

Sarah Walton

Born: 1945, UK, England, Bedfordshire, Luton

Ceramicist. During her training at Harrow School of Art (1971-73) Walton became interested in salt-glazing, a technique she has continued to use ever since, firing in an oil-fired kiln. Landscape is an important inspiration in her work and she seeks to convey a spirit of natural form.

Her teapots, cups and mugs are kept to simple, clean forms to allow the texture of the clay and the warm colour of the glazing to predominate. Since 1984 she has also specialised in making bird baths in sculptural shapes. Starting in 2019, Walton downscaled and began making smaller sculptures fired in electric kilns.
