My interest in ceramics grew from a chance job as a Girl Friday at Tabor Pottery in Canterbury with Les Brown, a job which turned into a four year apprenticeship.

From the moment I first learned to use the wheel I was hooked, and over 40 years later, still love to throw pots.

The outlet for my work has  been ‘Seagulls and Flamingos’ at 12 Harbour St, Whitstable CT5 1AQ since 1985. It opened as an outlet for locally made ceramics, furniture, glass, and clothes and expanded to include a wide range of fair trade goods. In April 2024  after 39 years, the lease expired, and the shop closed. My work can still be found in various shops and cafes in the town, and can be bought from me direct.

The studio will be closed during August, and all sessions will resume in September – add your name to the waiting list if interested carolfosterceramics.co.uk/contact
