Christine Feiler

Formed from white stoneware that’s ideal for delicate handling and the creation of a fine finish, Christine’s pots are thrown on the wheel, with segments being joined at the ‘leather hard’ stage. High firing at 1,260 degrees then fuses the colours and shape into a durable, singular form.

Christine was born in Bristol and is the daughter of painters Paul Feiler and June Miles. She studied at Bath Academy of Art and Cardiff Art College before training as a teacher.

After moving to Oxford she taught ceramics and settled in Penzance in 1994, where she lives today.

Often featuring rhythmic stripes or ripples of colour and using subtle or deep bold tones, the resulting ceramic works can be commanding and voluminous or elegant and spare.
