Welcome to the web site of Anna Keiller ...

I am a ceramic artist and live and work in Hastings Old Town on the south coast of England. I have been working in clay for over twenty years and and I do installations as well as one off pieces. I show my work in galleries and art fairs.

All the work displayed is for sale but feel free to comission your own individual piece.

The torsos are hand built in molochite clay, adopting a mixture of press-molding and coiling techniques. They are less than an inch thick and therefore light enough to hang from hooks fitted at the back. There is enough space between the torso and the wall to fit a small light, turning it into a wall sconse. They can also be hung outside in the garden, in a tree or on a wall.
After glazing the piece in my electric kiln I smoke fire it in the garden using a wide range of specially adapted glazes and oxides.

The Fat Birds are hand coiled and come in many different shapes and sizes. They are in general quite heavy and the only part that is glazed is their eyes and combs - the rest of the colours come from smoke fired oxides.

The colours you see on your screen may vary slightly to the actual colours of the work.
On the contact page, you can reach me to discuss commissions and other feedback, or arrange a visit to my studio.

Thank you for looking, and I hope you enjoy your visit!
