Eve is a potter living and working in Sheffield, England.
After studying at Glasgow School of Art, she received a bursary to study at Clay College in 2022, where she developed her throwing skills and honed her interest in salt-glaze and raw firing. Upon graduating in 2024, she worked at Bridge Pottery with the wood-fire salt-glaze potter Micki Schloessingk. In 2025, she joined Yorkshire Artspace’s Persistence Works, where she is currently a studio holder on their Clay Space programme.
Eve seeks to make pots for the home that have a generous and friendly presence, and feel good to hold, eat from, and bring joy with use. It’s important that domestic context and everyday rituals bring purpose to her pots and give them a sense of completion. She enjoys soft, full forms that centre a feeling of comfort, and strives for a quiet simplicity so that her pots bring out the beauty in the food they serve.
Whether in a button or an oven dish, Eve aims for the same qualities - a depth of surface, a warmth and softness, and a detail that you want to remember.
Eve’s practice focusses on raw-glazed slipware, a technique with deep-rooted heritage in British culture. The use of one or two slips and two simple glazes provide a framework to really bring form into focus. Despite its seeming simplicity, it’s a process that requires nuance, experience and persistence to harness well, and it’s these qualities that energise Eve to continue exploring.
Wood-firing and salt-glazing are processes Eve finds as compelling as they are challenging; variations in kilns, type of wood, and the packing of pots create a unique set of circumstances that make every piece a one-off. Over the many hours of stoking, raw clay and fire combine to create a new material, and the addition of salt creates impossibly rich and varied surfaces, as well as a durable glaze suitable for everyday use. Eve continues to take part in wood and salt firings to supplement her practice and keep her curiosity keen.
