About the Artist
Heather Gibson’s ceramics explore the threshold between art and the everyday object. Her making process combines sculptural hand-building, gestural movement and glaze alchemy – utilising both electric and gas reduction firing techniques.
 
Heather uses clay as a canvas to explore trace, time, memory and mark-making. Drawing inspiration from geology, archaeology and abstract expressionism, her ceramics serve as portals into the intricate topographies of human memory, and unseen landscapes concealed beneath the Earth’s surface.
 
Often beginning by striking, carving and faceting a block or a thick slab of clay, found objects such as old tools, driftwood and broken pottery are used to create unique surface histories. A careful alchemy of slips, oxides and glazes are applied, often poured across the surface. Through this method she invites risk into her work, encouraging the true nature of clay and its ability to give something back - something beyond our control.
 
Heather Gibson is a London-based ceramic artist. She completed her Master’s at the Royal College of Art in 2024, where she was awarded the Marit Rausing Scholarship for Ceramics & Glass. She is the current Potter in Residence at County Hall Pottery, preparing for her first solo exhibition in August 2025.
