Living in Northumberland close to the small town of Allendale, Steph Jamieson works with smoke and fire to create her beautiful, simple ceramic sculptures.

Her main concern is in form rather than function and her interest in archaeology, geology and astronomy are a constant source of experiment and influence in her work...

"There is an earthy, timeless quality about the ceramics; the sculptural forms are simple and richly marked by smoke. Consequently, each piece is unique and unusual"
