Artist's Statement

Antonia Salmon has worked as a ceramic artist since 1984, developing a strong interest in making ceramic sculptures that have a purity of line and form. The processes of hand burnishing the surfaces and smoke firing the finished pieces imbue the work with subtly and depth; the works appear timeless, contemplative and poised.

Inspiration is drawn from the natural world, traditional hand tools or artefacts. The wish is to make work that touches the viewer at a level beyond words, connecting us to quietness within.

After completing a BA Hons in Geography at Sheffield University, Antonia decided to leave an academic career and pursue her interest in ceramics; by training in potter's workshops and taking a Diploma in Studio Pottery from Harrow Art School in 1983. A year spent travelling and drawing through the Middle East, Pakistan and India influenced her subsequent work. Antonia set up her first studio in the Barbican, London and began to exhibit in Britain. In 1989 she moved to live and work in Sheffield from where she continues to show her work internationally, running master classes and bringing up a family.

Antonia�s work is represented in public and private collections in Europe, N. America and Japan. She is a fellow of the CPA, a member of The Society of Designer Crafts and also on the Crafts Council Selected Index.
