Tracey Johnston is a ceramist whose inspiration is attributed to the landscape of the Ulster coastline. This coastline tells a fascinating story of years of exposure to change both through nature and human interaction. The artist makes vessels that seek to connect us with our natural surroundings in the area of discovery, survival and function.

The artist wants not only to replicate the beauty of our landscape and coastlines, but also incapsulate the emotions and reasons we have for living in, walking on and retreating to it. Working with stoneware, throwing, casting and hand building, using oxides to colour with the added dimension of glazing and multiple firings,

Tracey’s work is unpredictable and organic just like the landscape she is influenced by.
