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). The pots displayed below from Linda’s August
2009 firing are currently available from the gallery |
