Jon Faulkner

Joninstudio.jpg

Jon is the resident studio potter creating all of his handthrown and hand built designs on site. He primarily works in salt glaze stoneware and his personally designed kiln is fired solely on recycled waste vegetable oil from the local restaurants. His functional art are conversation pieces drawn from a broad inspiration of everyday industrial elements to the historic ornate.  Jon has created a replica of one of the Bellarmine Jugs found on the 1609 'Sea Venture' shipwreck, historic for its survivors being the first Bermuda settlers.  Also popular is Jon's porcelain work - currently only offering two sizes of "basket bowls" with a shell motif. See www.jonfaulknerpottery.com for more images and details on the salt glaze firing process.

Sundee, owner/manager of the studios, carries on the traditional commercial ware painting the customized house-plaques and Bermuda Clayworks tableware. Time for personal work is limited, thus such pieces are normally saved for exhibitions.  Her main focus is on marketing the group of artisans as a collective and promoting the art of ceramics through exhibitions, gallery nights and workshops.

AubreyHardy/Aubrey.jpg

Aubrey Hardy - Aubrey is originally from Connecticut, USA.  She is one of the production staff and studio assistants for Bermuda Clayworks but has her own line of ethereal vases, cups and wall hangings as well as a series of animated tripod pedastal platters.  Most of her current work is in white earthenware which lends itself to her design preference of black and white and smooth flowing lines.  She incorporates the tripod element into many of her pieces and isn't afraid to explore mixed media by adding copper wire or using a clear crackle glaze with a contrasting dark ink.  Aubrey's wall hangings and vases, especially, are abstract yet all seem to evoke a similar response linking them to forms of nature - waves, leaves, seagulls, rays, flowers, wind - but in every piece Aubrey imbues a sense of the feminine form.
