Elise Austrin

Personal Profile:

I am a ceramic designer-maker with a first class honours degree from Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London.

I have a wide repertoire of work, always seeking forms for self expression

My work encompasses a range of processes from computer modelling forms and creating plaster models and moulds to throwing and hand building.

I also work as a ceramic surface designer developing patterns for existing shapes. One of my designs has been selected by the Portuguese ceramics manufacturer Vista Alegre for prototyping.

My background in business and IT informs my design process. I seek to combine computers with craft
