Teän Kirby makes makes decorative and sculptural ceramics using stoneware and porcelain clays. She is influenced by the natural world that surrounds her, living in a woodland area next to the Severn Estuary offers much inspiration. The colours and textures of this special environment are reflected in her work which often feature abstract forms of birds and fish. For the 2025 Arts Week Teän hopes to take a deeper, freer approach to reflect a long life working with clay and observing the world and our place in it.
