Norwegian Ceramicist Sonja Norris started her artistic career by studying woven textiles and teaching for several years before moving into education management.
Her passion was always for Ceramics which she pursued in her free time. Moving to the New Forest gave her the opportunity to achieve her ambition of having her own studio and creating ceramic pieces.
Her pieces are hand built using stoneware clay, some slab built and some coil built. She decorates with small dots using underglazes and finished with a transparent glaze. Her practice features geometric and organic patterns and is influenced by and the ebb and flow of the natural world. Each piece has a restricted colour palette allowing interaction between the colours. Her work is in America, Australia, Norway, France and England.
She has exhibited at:
- Palais de Vaches, Exbury
- The Red House Gallery, Christchurch
- The Fronteer Gallery, Sheffield
- St Barbe, Lymington
- Spudworks, Sway
- Forest Arts, New Milton
- Gallery Grounds, Southampton.
Her work can be purchased directly from her and prices range from £85 to £300. See her work on Instagram Sonja Norris Ceramicist and Hampshire Local Artists
