Raphaela aka Raphy is a full time potter living in Bristol. She started as a apprentice and went on to run a busy pottery studio in Devon. Now based in Bristol her practice is inspired by her connection to nature (Dartmoor in particular) Mythology and meaning making.
Raphy teaches classes from her studio, workshops on the land using natural materials and primitive firing techniques and two courses at Coombe (one in intermediate throwing and one on Glazing)
In this episode we talk about her pathway from studio manager to the development of her creative practice including production ware and receiving funding from Arts Council England.
