About Stephen Corner


Stephen Corner has been a full time potter since 1998. Stephen works with both porcelain and stoneware clay bodies, which he fires in a propane-fired kiln in a reduction atmosphere to 2350 degrees F.

Inspired by his love of nature he uses the natural environment to spark his creativity and imagination. He makes his own glazes and uses locally sourced materials when possible. Local clay, once dried and screened of organic material, is mixed in a 50/50 ratio with apple wood ash to create a glaze. This mixture is then brushed onto the surface of a pot and when fired it melts creating rivulets and pools of glaze.

The potential to forge a bond between a ceramic object and the person is intriguing. It pushes Stephen to keep investigating the endless possibilities of clay to create objects that can become part of one’s daily rituals. After all, when we open the cupboard, we reach for our favourite cup of the day.

Stephen’s work consists of both sculptural and functional ware. All functional ware is oven-proof, microwaveable and dishwasher safe.
