Elizabeth Cashmore

I started working in clay in high school and quickly found that I was hooked. The number of methods and ways to create and manipulate clay is amazing. Some 40 years on, I’m still engaged with the many possibilities that clay allows and always experimenting…always learning.  

My work reflects my interest, knowledge, and love of ancient history. It utilises my experience with clay, glaze, form, and imagination.

My work evokes a time gone by, and using no glaze or dry glaze with BRT clay or a combination of clays enhances its rustic look.

I desire to create pieces with a sense of time and purpose, and these works are exercises in ancient history and clay technique.

Clay texture, extruded coils, or handmade coils dominate my work, heightening the theme of timeless pieces while adding an aura of rustic charm and mystery.  

I always experiment, push the boundaries, and learn new things in clay.
