Matt Horne
Matt's career in ceramics began on leaving school, with a 2 year apprenticeship at an established pottery in Kent, where he became skilled in production throwing techniques. He set up his own ceramics studio and has been a full-time potter since 2008.
Experimentation with different clays and more complex glazes led him to crystalline glaze in 2009. All of Matt’s work is hand thrown in porcelain on the potter’s wheel and finished with crystalline glaze. Crystalline is a complex glazing process in which zinc silicate crystals form in the glaze during the firing, making every piece completely unique. His recent work has focused on developing new colour combinations using techniques such as coloured slips, post-fire reduction and acid etching to achieve new, contemporary finishes.
Matt enjoys pushing the boundaries of form with his elegant and distinctive wheel-thrown bottle forms and vases, which are complemented by the stunning colour combinations in his crystalline glazes. He is currently based out of a studio in West Hythe, Kent.
