Janet Holmes
Local potter Janet Holmes has exhibited and taught on the Wirral and nationally for over 40 years. For the last eight years, she has run the Rathbone Studio, Birkenhead, where she creates her sculptural ceramics and holds pottery workshops.
Janet’s work is deeply rooted in respect for the clay’s natural economy, incorporating textures that suggest intimate and sensuous curves. The organic element, and an insatiable desire for exploring her art, reflects in a highly personal approach to what she creates.
Exposing the naked qualities of the clay; soft form and contrasting textures is the essence of Janet’s work. Celebrating the creative diversity of clay and the individuality of the potter, Janet’s pieces look away from the uniformity of mass production and more towards individualism.
All sculptural pieces can be displayed either indoors or outdoors.
