CORISANDE
ALBERT
Corisande trained as a barrister and had a career as a documentary producer before discovering the creative and therapeutic magic of the potter’s wheel. Her practice is all about form, light, and touch.
She makes functional pieces in porcelain and stoneware, using a mix of glazes, brushed and dipped, to reflect the muted tones of the Welsh landscape of her home near Hay-on-Wye.
Corisande has exhibited at the International Ceramics Festival, Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, The Chair, Found Gallery, Herefordshire Art Week, and Larchwood Studios. You can view her upcoming exhibitions here.
She has been lucky enough to be taught by some immensely talented ceramicists – Katharina Klug, Kyra Cane, Chris Keenan, Simon Hulbert, and Jeremy Stuart – all of whom have played a part in her unfolding pottery journey.
"As a child, I spent many happy hours with the Polish potter Adam Dworski at his Wye Pottery in Clyro but it was not until my 40s that I found the wheel again and began my pottery journey in earnest. Once I started I couldn’t stop!
In 2017 I took the plunge and converted a potting shed in a forgotten corner of the walled kitchen garden at Cabalva House. My ceramics practice is all about joy, light, and touch. I make functional pieces in porcelain and use a mix of glazes, brushed and dipped to reflect the muted tones of the Welsh landscape of my home.
Excited and grateful to have found this passion, I hope slowly and quietly to make pots worthy of lifelong love and use in the home." - Corisande
