Member Showcase - Ali Tomlin MSDC

Ali trained and worked as a graphic designer for twenty years before discovering ceramics.

Ali likes to throw because even now, Ali still loves the immediacy of it and the thrill of something fully formed appearing out of what was a lump of mud just minutes earlier.

Ali works in porcelain, throwing to a fine finish and decorating with brushed, scraped and scored colour and lines, aiming for a feeling of spontaneity and movement. Even though the work looks spontaneous and done quickly, Ali trys hard to get just the right kind of mark, often removing marks and redoing them until happy.
