Iain Campbell Ceramics (no longer at the annexe)
I have a passion for hand-building in clay, mostly using slabs, occasionally coils, to create tactile sculptural pieces.
I find Moray a huge source of inspiration - its coastline, hills, woods and rolling farmlands, its changing light, textures and colours.
I experiment with smoke and pit firing to create unpredictable finishes. I have also been drawn to work with raku firing using matt patinas. More recently, I have been getting interesting results placing pieces in saggars (clay containers) then firing them in my electric kiln.
My original studio was established in the annexe attached to my home in Forres (hence the website name 'Ceramics at the Annexe'). However I have recently moved to the village of Dyke, where I have built a beautiful new purpose built studio in the garden.
The studio is open during the North East Open Studios event every September, otherwise I am very happy to welcome visitors by appointment.
