Pottery by CaM

Cam is a Busselton potter experimenting with clay and glaze combinations to form unique and individual functional ceramics.

After a long career in performing arts and higher education, I joined a local community pottery a few years ago to balance the challenges of my work life and learn a new skill. This took me on a beautiful journey to becoming a full-time potter.

As a performer and educator, I thoroughly enjoyed the practice of sharing through the telling of story.  In clay this new sense of story through handmade pottery has truly fed my soul and informed my work in many ways. The interactions and colour of the glaze become the language, and the textures within the clay enrich the background and place within each piece. The very fact that these are everyday items we can all use and enjoy, ensure that this becomes a shared experience and instils a conversation between maker and user. This story cycle enriches my creative experience continually.
