Georgie Gardiner is a British ceramicist whose work is defined by a refined balance between form, surface and rhythm. Her practice centres on wheel-thrown vessels, where disciplined making provides the ground for bold and carefully resolved surface decoration.

Trained in workshop ceramics in the 1990s, Gardiner developed a deep technical understanding of clay and process early in her career. This foundation continues to underpin her work, allowing a sense of confidence and clarity to emerge in even the most visually complex pieces. After establishing her first studio in North London, she has since worked independently for many years, producing a focused and recognisable body of work.

Gardiner is particularly known for her use of paper resist and layered coloured slips. Hand-cut paper shapes are applied to the clay before firing, creating crisp, graphic patterns that interact with the curve and proportion of each vessel. The resulting surfaces feel both playful and deliberate, animated by repetition, interruption and contrast.

Working from her studio in the Surrey Hills, Gardiner’s practice reflects a long-term commitment to making that values attention, restraint and material understanding. Her work sits comfortably within the tradition of British studio ceramics while maintaining a contemporary visual language that feels assured rather than decorative. Each piece carries the authority of sustained looking and repeated making.
