HEIDI HARRINGTON

Heidi is a ceramicist specialising in Ceramics and Print, working mostly in porcelain. She takes an innovative approach to clay and image, developed during her studies at the Royal College of Art. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions across the UK and Europe, and supported by the Crafts Council and Arts Council England.

Heidi is also Lead Technical Instructor in Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art in London, and has over 25 years of teaching experience in Ceramics.

Using her own photography as a starting point, Heidi prints fresh clay images and forms them into decorative interior pieces. The images are allowed to gently stretch and move during the making process, the clay follows the forms until finally freezing once the piece is made. She is inspired by both the movement and stillness in nature and hopes to capture these fleeting moments in the surface and forms of her porcelain.

The film below Clay and Ink commissioned by the Crafts Council gives an insight into her thinking and studio practise.
