This process creates a playful tension between soft, curved volumes and sharper, angular lines, giving each piece a sense of movement and individuality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce reformed, the shapes are subtly compressed into flatter profiles, appearing almost two-dimensional from the side while maintaining a gently rounded body.

Some feature delicate, irregular horizontal scratches, while others display broader, more consistent facets that softly catch the light. The palette is calm and earthy, ranging from deep browns to warm cream stone tones, with occasional subtle accents of pink, blue, or green.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether standing alone or arranged in groups, these pieces create a quiet dialogue, where contrasting forms and textures interact in a way that feels both balanced and alive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Artist \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"outlook-search-highlight\"\u003eChloe\u003c\/span\u003e Charrington is a ceramic artist specialising in hand-thrown vessels, with a focus on texture and surface. After an earlier career in arts marketing, she discovered clay in her thirties and spent over a decade producing functional pottery, including bespoke tableware for clients and Michelin-starred restaurants such as Askham Hall. Her practice has since shifted toward more sculptural work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2024, she graduated with Distinction from the MA Ceramics programme at Cardiff School of Art and Design, where she studied under Claire Curneen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorking from the wheel, \u003cspan data-markjs=\"true\" class=\"outlook-search-highlight\"\u003eChloe\u003c\/span\u003e alters and flattens her forms, moving away from function toward quiet, composed pieces.
