Patricia Shone

Patricia was born in Scotland but grew up in Devon. After studying ceramics in London finances and a love of cooking led her into work as a chef. Having worked in Italy she eventually moved to the Isle of Skye where she returned to making pots.

​

Patricia prefers hand building but does return to wheel throw work every so often. Her vessels reflect the rocky environment of Skye and texture has become a driving force of her creative development as a potter. She mainly divides her work between wood-fired, sager-fired, raku and porcelain.

 

Patricia has been a selected member of the Craft Potters Association since 2015.
