Ceramics by Philippa Norris
Philippa lives in Eynsham, Oxfordshire where she has a charming garden and wild meadow. From here, daily dog walks and a drawing class, Philippa draws inspiration for her ceramics. Most work is in porcelain, I love the whiteness and tonality of the clay once fired. Currently Philippa is moving away from slip casting to hand building.
Decorating finished work is the most exciting and often demanding part of the process. I commonly use a variety of techniques such as hand painting with coloured slip or raw oxides, or incorporating coloured clays within the making process.. Recent work has a botanical theme using just cobalt oxide and relying on tonal depth for the image.
Philippa will be exhibiting her work at Artists and Makers Event, Taking place at NOA Community Centre, Sommertown, Oxfrod, OX2 7DP. We are open on 5th and 6th December from 10am to 3.30pm.
Philippa will also be open at her home studio during ArtWeeks 2027
Philippa is a member of WOA and regularly exhibits at their Gallery in Bampton.
My studio
I am so lucky to have a very functional studio overlooking my garden, previously I was working in a cold garage. I love this new space and once again I am inspired and making and experimenting with new work and ideas.

My Portfolio
Welcome to my portfolio. Here you’ll find a selection of my work. Explore my projects to learn more about what I do.
Below are a number of images to give you an idea of my style and range. The first few are hand built with either stone ware or porcelain. Then there are models based on my whippets for which I am especially well known, these are slip cast in porcelain. The final group of pictures depict various containers, usually for flowers but could be used for brushes, pencils or whatever. I have a much wider range of wares. Costs vary from £25 to £80.
