kiln firing techniques such as wood firing during her 2 month concentration course at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina.

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.

stones. Suzie also offers a line of hand made jewellery which will incorporate a variety of imported beads and semi
