Linda firing her kiln. Linda De Nil is a Belgian anagama firing potter who works in both stoneware and porcelain. Born near Brussels in 1959, Linda remembers being fascinated by the enormous brick kilns that were fired in the fields near where she lived as a child. So much so that she decided that potting and more specifically wood-firing was something she had to pursue. Like many top potters, she taught herself to throw and following a research trip to La Borne, the centre of stoneware production in France, she opened her own workshop east of Brussels in 1994. Her larger stoneware pieces that exhibit immediacy and looseness and her “more refined” porcelain are fired together for five days, using pine as the fuel, to temperatures of 1300 degrees Celsius and beyond. Linda has exhibited extensively in Europe and in England was judged by her fellow potters as the best exhibitor at Art in Clay, Hatfield in 2006. Besides having examples of her work available, the gallery also has a stock of an extensively illustrated booklet about Linda and her work (£10 at the gallery or posted at cost).
