Linda designs and makes ceramic art and porcelain tableware. She uses a tactile satin matt glaze outside and colour on the inside. Linda makes her own range of glazes and is particularly interested in the translucent colours obtained using oxides rather than commercial stains. She has written several bestselling books on glazes and teaches courses in the UK and internationally as well as exhibiting widely in the world of design and craft and we’re really excited to be able to offer this course as part of our range of pottery courses at Coombe.
