Eve Gnoyke

  • Ceramicist

Persistence Works

After graduating from Glasgow School of Art, Eve went on to study at Clay College in Stoke on Trent, and is now based in YAS’s Clay Space programme.

Eve seeks to make pots for the home that have a generous and friendly presence, and feel good to hold, eat from, and bring joy with use. It’s important that domestic context and everyday rituals bring purpose to her pots and give them a sense of completion. She enjoys soft, full forms that centre a feeling of comfort, and strives for a quiet simplicity so that her pots bring out the beauty in the food they serve.

The majority of her work is raw-glazed slipware, a technique with deep-rooted heritage in English culture. The use of one or two slips and two simple glazes provide a framework to really bring form into focus. Despite its seemingly apparent simplicity, it’s a process that requires nuance, experience and persistence to harness well, and it’s these qualities that energise Eve to continue exploring.
