Handmade Decorative Ceramics
FROST AND FLAME CERAMICS is the creative venture of Ruby Byrne, a graduate of Cardiff School of Art and Design’s Ceramics Degree. While Ruby is a maker of many things, her main passion is clay. During her degree, she specialised in hand-building Ancient Greek Style Sgraffito Pottery for her exhibition project titled THE CELESTIAL BODY, but has recently forayed into functional wheel thrown pottery after becoming a time exchange member of CUP Ceramics Community studio based in Hereford.
After graduating from university, Ruby began to develop my ceramics practice by playing around with forms of function. Her degree work focused on Ancient Greek style Sgraffito Pottery and was completely sculptural in nature, she enjoyed playing in the space where decorative met functional. The result? A collection of handmade pottery and ceramic homeware painted with fantastical illustrations with the aim to bring a little piece of magic into the everyday.
