Coming up next week is my show @klei.shop as part of their guest artist series. I really enjoyed making the work for this show and am very much looking forward to being in London on Wednesday for the PV. I've called it 'First Impressions' From the finger tips while throwing, the marks made when stamping or combing the soft clay to the way the viewer initially interacts with the pots, first impressions count. But like most things, when you take a second, third or fourth look other subtleties are revealed. Some of pieces in the show also nod to the 30 years since I was first properly introduced to clay. I lived in Cornwall for 20 years and have now lived in Wales for 10. I have blended the Cornish clay body I predominantly use with local clay for my surroundings here in North East Carmarthenshire. Blending them 2 thirds to 1 third representing the time spent in Cornwall and Wales. #timlakeceramics #ceramics #tableware #wildclay #supportcreatives

We are pleased to introduce the ceramist we are collaborating with for our upcoming tea tastings, beginning at the end of May. Their work reflects a quiet sensitivity to form and material, with each piece thoughtfully made to be used and experienced. Here we share a selection of previous works as an introduction, ahead of the pieces they are creating for us, which we look forward to sharing soon. Alex Kwan @the_otterpotter Alex founded Otter Potter in 2022. With a background in graphic design from Central Saint Martins, he brings a playful and illustrative approach to ceramics through wheel throwing, hand building and surface decoration. His work centres on creativity and joy, aiming to make people smile through everyday objects. Eimi Koike @koikeeimi A self taught ceramicist based in South London, Eimi’s practice explores natural forms and the relationship between clay and the body. Influenced by her residency in Sasama, Shizuoka, she works primarily with porcelain, creating pieces that reflect her research into organic patterns and Japanese aesthetics. Flora Fabris @ooak_creation Flora is a London based ceramic artist creating stoneware rooted in quiet ritual and the beauty of imperfection. Inspired by wabi sabi, her work focuses on functional forms that bring presence and intention to everyday moments. Tim Lake @timlpots Based in rural Mid Wales, Tim creates stoneware that balances vitality with a quiet presence. Drawing on a range of influences, his work highlights the softness of clay and the transformative nature of the firing process, resulting in pieces that are both expressive and enduring.

@cca_gallery have a great selection of my pots available either at their gallery or online. 📷 @cca_gallery #timlakeceramics #ceramics #supportcreatives #supportsmallbusiness

My pots are part of a new exhibition at the @schallergallery in the US Quietude is about the steadfast role that pots play in our daily lives. Bowls, cups, jars, and pitchers that we reach for without thinking. These are pieces that sit on our counters, hold our food and drink, and move with us through everyday routines. The work in this show focuses on simple, unassuming forms. Nothing flashy, just thoughtful pots shaped by hand and made to be used. Their beauty comes from familiarity, reliability, and the small rituals they support every day. Quietude is an invitation to slow down and notice these everyday objects: the quiet, steady, reliable pots that are always there, doing their job. Featuring work by Nate Willever, Nancy Green, S.C. Rolf, Tim Lake, Eric Ordway, Jan Mckeachie-Johnston, and Sandy Lockwood. @natewillever @nancygreenceramics @steven_rolf @ericordway @janmckeachiejohnston @slockwood737 #timlakeceramics #ceramics #tableware #buyoncebuywell
