The teacher – Clare Spindler
Clare’s creative focus is functional ceramics in stoneware and porcelain, fired in oxidation and reduction.
While the majority of Clare’s work is wheel-thrown, she also produces decorative pieces combining thrown, altered and hand-built components. Clare is the studio manager at In Production from Turning Earth, a communal studio for professional makers based in Leyton. She is also a teacher at Turning Earth and Crown Works Pottery.
