Overview
Moira Goodall

Moira Gooodall's ceramic vessels are strongly influenced by a sense of place, drawn from the coastal marshes and soft estuary landscape of Essex, where she lives and works. Using the traditional hand-building techniques of pinching and coiling, she makes each vessel slowly and steadily before applying softly coloured slips in layers and then burnishing or texturizing the surface. No glaze is used.

After the initial bisque firing, Moira’s works receive a second firing in sawdust. She has refined and perfected this ‘smoke firing’ technique over twenty years, developing her own masking methods to create patterns and energy in the surface, and allowing her to set the tone of each piece from light to dark. Moira is a selected member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen, the Suffolk Craft Society and the Craft Potters Association. Her ceramics have featured in galleries and exhibitions across the UK and internationally.
