Welcome to the website of Althea Wynne.

Althea Wynne one of the very few British sculptors producing large ceramic figures by the coiling technique.

Her work is for the outdoors; fired to a high temperature to render it fostproof, the stone-ware clay becomes at least as durable as cotswold stone which its toasty golden colour resembles.

Much less costly than bronze, and far less attractive to thieves, fired clay sculpture is in any case more in harmony with the nature of the garden.

Each piece of Althea's work is unique; it is as intimate a creation of the artist's own hands as a thrown pot.
