About Mudfired

Lauren first tried pottery in 2020 after she had moved back home to East Sussex. Pottery acted as therapy during an extremely uncertain period, both personally and globally. She's found a huge amount of peace and clarity in finding a way to channel energy where  something tangible is created at the end of it all.

I have always gravitated more towards the methodical steps of handbuilding. Each piece I build, fuse, mend and fire holds a piece of myself within it.

To own a piece of handmade pottery is to own a piece of the artists hand. 

The process is begun by creating intention. Each item is made individually from clay and never duplicated. Drying and bisque firing in a kiln solidify the piece, followed by glazing, which adds both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The final firing transforms the raw materials into a durable, finished piece. This process is not just about craftsmanship but also a meditative journey.
