Ceramics by Philippa Norris
Philippa lives in Eynsham, Oxfordshire where she has a charming garden and wild meadow. From this, daily dog walks and a drawing class Philippa draws inspiration for her ceramics. Most work is in porcelain, I love the whiteness and tonality of the clay once fired. I also love decorating what I have made. I commonly use a variety of techniques such as hand painting with coloured slip or raw oxides. Recent work has a botanical theme using just cobalt oxide and relying on tonal depth for the image.
News
Philippa is a member of West Oxfordshire Arts and regularly exhibits at their gallery in Bampton, OX182JH. Currently she is taking part in their Winter Festival 8th November until December 20. Her work can also be seen during the run up to Christmas at a show known as Art at Christmas, which is held at the Community Centre, Summertown, North Oxford,OX27DP from 10 to 5 on December 6th and 7th 2025.
My studio
I am so lucky to have a very functional studio overlooking my garden, previously I was working in a cold garage. I love this new space and once again I am inspired and making and experimenting with new work and ideas.

Below are a number of images to give you an idea of my style and range. The first few are hand built with either stone ware or porcelain. Then there are models based on my whippets for which I am especially well known, these are slip cast in porcelain. The final group of pictures depict various containers, usually for flowers but could be used for brushes, pencils or whatever. I have a much wider range of wares. Costs vary from £25 to £80.
