Display artist/maker:

Micki Schloessingk

Born: 1949, UK, England, London

Ceramicist. Schloessingk discovered pots and pot-making while travelling in India. She had workshop experience in County Mayo, Republic of Ireland before studying studio pottery at Harrow School of Art (1970-72) under Mick Casson and Victor Margrie. Schloessingk travelled across Europe, gaining experience in salt-glazing and wood firing.

In 1974, Schloessingk established her first pottery in North Yorkshire, and in 1987 moved to North Gower, Swansea, Wales, where she continues to live and work. Her work is mainly salt glaze tablewares thrown in a flowing, vigorous style. Schloessingk’s vessels draw on both tradition and her own craft skill. Colours are rich rusts, oranges and reds with streaks of copper greens, peaty browns and bluish blacks.

Schloessingk is a Fellow of the Craftsmen Potters Association. She demonstrates widely, and in 1997 visited the International Ceramics Festival, Aberystwyth, at which the two items in the collection were purchased.
