Anna Lambert has been a full-time maker of handbuilt earthenware ceramics since 1980. In 1989 she moved with her husband, painter David AP Thomas, to North Yorkshire.They now share a studio,Junction Workshop, in an old shop next to the Burberry Mill in Airedale. 

Her many solo exhibitions include Contemporary Ceramics, London, The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh and Galerie Terra Viva, France and she has exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the USA.

 Anna builds her work from a white earthenware mixed clay, using a variety of techniques including slab-building, using both soft and firm slabs, modelling and painting with slips.

Her ideas reflect an interest in place, exploring narratives relating to land and water management in her locality and the regeneration of orchards. Inspired by new nature writing, she engages with a common language beyond pastoral sentimentality, combining drawing with abstract qualities of pots, their spaces, edges, and surfaces.

Anna studied at Bath Academy of Art (BA Hons 3D design) and University of Central Lancashire (MA Ceramics) and is a Fellow (and currently Membership Secretary) of the Craft Potters Association.

As well as working in clay, Anna loves to cook, garden, walk, and draw in the landscape.
