Miles-Moore Ceramics

Red Route

We are potters who work in the North of England but have been privileged to be part of Spring Fling for nearly ten years. The show has introduced us to a wonderful range of new people and places that have inspired our work.

About My Practice

As a husband and wife team we share a studio, a passion for natural materials and some tools and techniques. Martin throws and Siobhan Handbuilds. Martin loves simplicity and the quiet zen like process of creation. Siobhan seeks out more narrative approaches and gilds some element of everything she makes!
Martin studied Ceramics and graduated quite a few decades ago. Siobhan studied design and has developed her ceramic practice over the last ten years. We learn from eachother and from the other creatives that we work with. Some of these are Michelin Starred Chefs, some award winning bartenders, as well as other makers and designers with whom we collaborate. Ours is a social an evolving practice.

Tools & Materials

We both work with clay, Martin with grogged stonewares and porcelain Siobhan with a range of sculptural materials. Slate, Granite, Wood Ash and natural iron ores all play a part in our glazes. We have recently moved and our studio is now a small cedar clad shed at the bottom of our garden. Martin has a kick wheel and an electric wheel and Siobhan relies heavily on her slab roller ( think giant pasta machine).
