Meet: Andrea Brewster of Driftwood Boatbuilders How long have you been making your work and how did it all begin? I have been making my boats for 2 years now. It all started after I collected some driftwood pieces on a beach in Skiathos. I managed to bring them home in my suitcase with the […]

The other night I was flicking through some of my old Ceramic Review magazines and came across a page featuring my degree show pieces from university. I had forgotten all about the feature and it was nice seeing my name in print. Can you spot the two sculptural vessels below? These pieces don’t look it […]
