Meriel May began her creative journey in Digby’s Studio, where she discovered a love for throwing and decorating dinnerware that led to her own studio.
More recently, her explorations into painting and charcoal inspired a focus on the “Undergrowth” — the weeds and textures of our natural habitat. This theme now shapes her ceramics, where glazes, oxides, slips, and brushwork reinterpret the undergrowth and wider landscape.
She delights in the unexpected effects of the firing process, which add depth and surprise to her work.
