Rebecca J Woods
I'm Rebecca, a potter based in Moffat, working from my studio in my back garden. While my virtual studio offers a glimpse into my process, nothing beats seeing it all come to life in person! During the Spring Fling Weekend, I invite you to step into my space, see me work, and explore my work displayed in the gallery room. Come and share in the joy of making!

About My Practice
I work using the intricate Mishima technique, where I imprint delicate patterns into the clay and inlay them with coloured slips, using my own handmade stamps. I create both decorative and functional stoneware, including bud vases, ginger jars, moon jars, bowls, mugs, pouring bowls, and brooches. I develop and make all my own glazes, i enjoy the soft tones of Corncockle mauve and Seaglass pale green.
Tools & Materials
I primarily use the potter's wheel, although lately I've found myself rediscovering the joy of hand building. My clay is buff stoneware clay, and I blend stoneware buff with black clay to create unique textures and tones. I fire with an electric kiln, to high temperatures, reaching up to 1260 degrees Celsius to achieve the desired finish and durability.

Spring Fling Activity
When you visit my studio you'll wander through my workshop, see the kiln and glazing area, visit the gallery display space where you can relax and enjoy refreshments. You'll see works in progress, my toolkit, and I'll be on hand to explain the various techniques I use and occasional demonstrations.
