Linda Bloomfield designs and makes ceramic art and tableware based on her thrown porcelain, with dimples and visible throwing lines showing the hand of the maker. She uses a tactile satin matt glaze on the outside and colour on the inside. She makes her own range of glazes and is particularly interested in the translucent colours obtained using oxides rather than commercial stains. She has written several books on glazes and teaches a course on colour in glazes at Forest Row School of Ceramics. She has exhibited her work widely in the world of design and craft.
