STEPHANIE GEYL POTTERY

BRISTOL POTTER, CREATING HANDMADE STONEWARE CERAMICS FOR THE HOME. MADE TO BE USED & LOVED EVERY DAY

Stephanie Geyl Bristol Potter

FORM

My work has been influenced by the idea that it’s often the small things that have the biggest impact. Why shout when the subtle, simple but beautiful can say so much? With this in mind, I like to keep my forms simple, and allow the glaze to bring out the beauty of a piece.

WORK

I have been working as a potter in Bristol for ten years, and find great joy in sitting at the wheel, allowing the clay to take amazing new forms through simple changes in technique. The pleasure that comes from turning a lump of clay into something beautiful and useful never fails to inspire me.

Hot out the kiln… lots of slightly smaller rounder beakers in some new glazes. Loving them all but I definitely have a favourite, do you? The second photo shows the difference to a glaze and size of a pot depending on where it is in the kiln.
So thrilled to open the kiln this morning to find a beautiful bisque firing survived. Super large jugs and ‘vases’. I’ve been throwing different forms over the last month, challenging myself to throw much higher and then shape the l
I love anything structural. My father was an architect so I spent my childhood going round to jobs with him and looking at internal spaces, listening to him suggest how to improve with simple tweaks to their layouts. Nowadays people are continually d

Well that’s a wrap… the last Frome Independent market was on Sunday and what a day! The weather was reliably wet and windy… we held onto our gazebos like pole dancers chatting to all you wonderful visitors. Of all the markets an
This weekend… it’s the North Bristol Art Trail. Hundreds of artists open their homes and studios to the public to come and see their work, meet the artist and hopefully buy a few Christmas presents for themselves and others. I am exhibi
Good morning you lovely folks… sending you all loads of love on a freezing Wednesday. My studio is steaming this week with the kiln on the whole time in preparation for the North Bristol Art Trail which is this weekend. I absolutely love ta

A fabulous day at @thefromeindependent as always. It never fails to be my very favourite place to spend the first Sunday of every month! Enormous thanks to everyone who came to chat, laugh, share stories, buy and shelter from the unexpected torrenti
I’ve introduced a new cup to my collection. It’s based on my beakers. These are the same size as a beaker however I’ve softened the base adding a slight curve and handle. So many people have been asking if I do ‘beakers with h
