Artist’s Statement:

I’m Raechel owner and creator of Reid Ceramics. Inspired by everyday life and objects we all recognise, I hand build pieces that are unique, and that evoke humour and conversation. I enjoy the challenge of manipulating clay to construct realistic pieces that challenge perceptions about what can be produced using clay. For every piece you see, there have been many, often frustrating attempts and experiments to achieve a sculpture that I’m proud of. The themes of my work continually develop and alter in response to new ideas, inspiration and my frame of mind; often building a ceramic bag in the morning and a crumpet in the afternoon!
