Jill Christie's work continues the best traditions of the studio pottery movement. She produces earthenware of a lightness and clarity never equalled by stoneware, with colours and techniques offering a treat unique in ceramics today. Alongside the comprehensive domestic range, Jill also produces a variety of one-off pieces, including large decorated vases and bowls, as well as cut-out candle-holders and table lamps. Another speciality is impressed pottery using real leaves - a particularly effective technique with the red earthenware clay. Wold Pottery was started (near Beverley) by the late Aidan Dixon in 1954. Jill Christie was apprenticed to him in 1973, learning the fine throwing and decorating methods which are the signature of Wold Pottery. He retired in 1985 and Jill took over the studio. In 2004 the business moved to Loftus and alongside a new workshop opened a gallery and shop selling the full range of Wold Pottery and a fine selection of local artists work; painting prints, jewelry and textiles Jill Christie Wold Pottery 79 High Street Loftus Saltburn by the Sea TS13 4HG Tel: 01287 640100 Mobile: 07947 140131 E-mail: woldpottery@yahoo.co.uk Opening: Shop open Wednesday to Saturday.
