I am the co-owner of the Wilder Clay Gallery, 1 St Andrew’s Courtyard, Penrith CA11 7YE, with Simon Whalley (simonwhalley.org) – Please come and visit us if you are in the area.

Marrying clay and textile disciplines in her hand-built porcelain, Gwen has developed a unique decorative approach to her making, producing highly embellished pieces but with a functional dimension.

There are narrative references inspired by Victorian botanical illustrations and strong references to Elizabethan costume, with an ever-increasing overlap between the two as she develops her very distinctive work.
