Hannah McAndrew
Hannah has a degree in Three-Dimensional Design and, using this, moved to Scotland to undertake an apprenticeship with a highly regarded slipware potter where her skills were honed to an extent that she became the mainstay of the workshops production. Since 2009, Hannah has won an array of Awards in ceramics and design and was selected as a Fellow of the Craft Potters’ Association. In 2003, she started her own workshop to give demonstrations to students both in person and online. She was invited to deliver a six-month programme to four young apprentices by their regional arts association. In 2021, she was invited to produce a film for the Ceramics Congress where professionals demonstrate their skills and teach their techniques to an audience across the world. This year she is exhibiting at Contemporary Ceramics in London which is the gallery of the Craft Potters’ Association and has also been invited to be part of an international ceramic makers Auction House. Hannah has also had her piece ‘This is England’ accepted into the permanent collection of Centre of Ceramic Art in the York Art Gallery. Hannah’s work references classical form and uses traditional techniques while also being produced with her own ‘accent’.
