Bridget Macklin
Bridget Macklin is a ceramic artist whose work tells compelling stories about the landscape, with geology at its heart. She is inspired by the contorted, fractured layers that shape moors, mountains, cliffs, and coasts, but her art also reflects her concern for the damage inflicted on the Earth during the Anthropocene era. Each of Bridget’s pieces is unique and delicate, blending porcelain with wild clays and natural materials. She embraces experimentation and risk, using high firing to enhance the translucent quality of the porcelain and to flux or burn the inclusions. This process creates tension within the clay, resulting in warping, craters, and splintered textures that amplify the narrative of her work. Through her ceramics, Bridget captures both the beauty and vulnerability of the natural world, crafting works that resonate with the power and fragility of the Earth.

Exhibition Record
Delamore Arts 2025
Artizan Collective is delighted to continue our partnership with Delamore Arts for a second year in 2025. Since 2014, our South Devon-based social enterprise has championed the region’s creative industries, managing cultural venues and providing artist support services with a strong community ethos from our home on the English Riviera. As a key player in Torbay’s cultural regeneration, we represent hundreds of practicing artists annually, showcasing the depth of talent in the South West and beyond. Our first collaboration with Delamore Arts in 2024, Contemporary British Printmakers, brought together an inspiring collection of works that celebrated emerging and established printmakers from Devon and across the UK. Building on that success, this year we are excited to curate two exhibitions, alongside a dynamic workshop programme and an engaging calendar of Maker Takeovers—intimate artist and maker fairs that bring creativity to life for visitors. “Delamore Arts is a highlight of the South West arts calendar, and it’s an honour to expand our contribution this year. We’re thrilled to showcase the vibrancy and diversity of the creative community while sharing the wider work we do to nurture artistic practice in the region. From our Torquay venues set amidst the stunning backdrop of a UNESCO Global Geopark, to our networks and patronage programmes, we’re committed to supporting creatives of all backgrounds as they make their mark locally and nationally.”
