Tricia Thom
Based in Edinburgh, Tricia studied Ceramics at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen, and spent some of her early career as a key worker in a production pottery in the Highlands of Scotland.
Tricia’s work reflects a love of a Japanese aesthetic; simplicity, balance and grace. It seeks also to express something of connections between people. Teapots and moon jars speak to her as symbols of community and ritual.
The process of making is as important to Tricia as the end product. The pieces are wheel-thrown porcelain, paying attention to achieving uniformity and balance, and treating surfaces with intuitive, calligraphic brush marks which serve to complement the precision of the thrown form. The act of throwing porcelain on the wheel, and the physical action of applying decoration on to the surface of pots, are intimate, sensory experiences that sustains her and make the process a meditative and therapeutic one.”Tricia Thom creates wheel-thrown porcelain vessels in her studio just south of Edinburgh, Scotland.
