Display artist/maker:

Ruthanne Tudball

Born: 1948, USA, California

Ceramicist. It was not until Tudball moved to England to marry in 1968 that she discovered the appeal of clay when handling handmade bowls in a Cardiff market. Self-taught for several years, by 1987 she was accepted at Goldsmith’s College London for a postgraduate course. Drawing became as important as clay, and life drawing finds echoes in her work.

Tudball’s techniques of finishing pots wet on the wheel and soda glazing give her work its distinctive characteristics. She enjoys teaching and encouraging students to find their own individual voice. Tudball has her own pottery in East Dereham, Norfolk. In 1992 she had an exhibition in the Aberystwyth Arts Centre, at which the works in the collection were purchased.
