Day 7 of Meet the Team ⭐️

For our last post of the series, meet co-founder Aimee Morris! She is our lovely Admin here at Aberdeen Ceramics Studio.

Aimee is an artist working between Clay and Collage. She has an MA in Art and Social Practice, and is passionate about community art spaces - how working with your hands, engaging with materials, and making alongside and with others is vital for wellbeing.

She supports the studio administratively - if you’ve sent us an email, you’ll likely have heard
from Aimee!

You’ll find her at her desk helping to ensure the studio runs smoothly, working on class schedules or helping the team to plan events. Her favourite studio task is recycling clay. ♻️

Her own practice revolves around conversations had, observations made and responses to, and
is inspired by personal connections and experiences of being in a community, landscape or state of mind. ✨️

Day 6 of Meet the Team ⭐️

Here we have AJ Simpson, one of the six co-founders of Aberdeen Ceramics Studio!

AJ graduated from Gray's School of Art in 2021 with a BA Hons in 3D Design, specialising in ceramics. In 2022, AJ won The Great Pottery Throwdown, and has since taken their practice full-time from their studio within the Deemouth Artist Studios community, based in Aberdeen.

They craft a mix of wheel-thrown and hand-built pieces. AJ enjoys exploring the novel side of ceramics through their fun ‘blob’ series of decorative one-off characters. 🦕 These creatures are inspired by AJ's love for illustration and collecting rocks as a child!

Alongside their series of small ornamental figurines, AJ fuses fun with function in their series of blob crockery which includes blob mugs, bowls, plant pots and more! Recently they have begun pushing their sculpting skills to produce larger forms in a series of dinosaur blobs which showcase bright colours and goofy expressions. ✨️

Aberdeen Ceramics Studio is happy to (re)introduce another one of our lovely co-founders! Everyone meet Amy Benzie.

Day 5 of Meet the Team ⭐️

One of the six co-founders of Aberdeen Ceramics Studio, meet Celda-Mae Tyndall. 🤗

Inspired by the mystical and the natural, Tyndall creates witchy-inspired ceramics and handcrafted jewellery that celebrate texture, symbolism, and colour. Their ceramic pieces often draw on ritualistic forms and earthy tones, while their jewellery features vibrant stone settings, intricate detailing, and celestial motifs—especially moons. She works with recycled silver, embracing its organic character through hand-stamped textures and naturally formed surfaces. Each piece is a small talisman, thoughtfully made to carry a sense of magic and intention.

Celda-Mae creates ceramics and jewellery inspired by a love of nature, colours, and a touch of the mystical. Her ceramic work has a whimsical, witchy feel, often featuring magical glazes and gold lustre finishes. In their jewellery, they use colourful stone settings and intricate details, incorporating moon motifs and working with recycled silver. She lets the metal’s natural texture shine through or add character with hand-stamped patterns.

"Each piece is made with care, blending creativity with a connection to what I love most." ✨️

Day 3 of Meet the Team ⭐️

Kevin Andrew Morris is one of the six co-founders of Aberdeen Ceramics Studio! ⚱️✨️

"My practice is shaped by the physical and cultural landscape I find myself, exploring themes of identity and place through local eating and drinking cultures, focusing on narratives and rituals associated with place."

Considering collective connections to heritage and tradition through ceramics, Morris’ practice is an extension of the lineage of practitioners who have gone before making contemporary work that contributes to this.

Thematically, his practice has been shaped by the physical and cultural landscape he finds himself in. Exploring themes of identity and place through local eating and drinking cultures, and focusing on narratives and rituals associated with place.

He feels that ceramics and food forge connection, cohesiveness and symbolize the intrinsically communal and collaborative aspects of both practices. Integral to his practice is participation and engagement, valuing opportunities to learn alongside others.
