Rachel Peters

Rachel is a self-taught ceramic artist who works from her home studio in Hoylake, creating hand-built vessels and sculptures using the traditional process of coiling.

Having always been interested in interior design and architecture, Rachel makes beautiful pieces to enhance living spaces. She enjoys the harmony of natural soft forms, biomorphic rounded shapes and calm colour.  Rachel uses a variety of clay bodies in her work but particularly enjoys working with stoneware clays.  She tends not to use glazes as she loves the natural state of the clay, preferring to maintain her connection with the clay and the tactile appreciation of its texture.
