Lea Phillips
Lea Phillips is a ceramic artist whose work blends form, function, colour, and pattern. Based in her studio and shop, The Happy Crab Gallery in Weymouth, Lea creates colourful wheel-thrown ceramics, ranging from tableware to one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Lea’s passion lies in throwing, surface design, and the interplay of colour and texture. Working with oxidised stoneware, she combines the depth and durability of stoneware glazes with the decorative freedom more commonly seen in low-fired ceramics. Each piece is individually decorated with free and abstract designs, built up through multiple layers of glazes crafted from her own recipes. Her creative process is driven by continuous experimentation and glaze development, resulting in vibrant, tactile ceramics that are both functional and expressive. Lea’s pots reflect her love of craftsmanship and her playful approach to design.

Exhibition Record
The Kiln Room
Artizan Collective is delighted to introduce The Kiln Room at Delamore Arts 2025, a new exhibition celebrating the dynamic possibilities of ceramics. Complementing the wider sculpture programme, this carefully curated showcase highlights functional and decorative ceramics, pots, vessels, and sculptural works in clay, along with a selection of supporting wall pieces. Ceramics has long been a medium where art meets utility, and The Kiln Room explores the intersection of tradition and innovation within this practice. From wheel-thrown and hand-built forms to experimental glazes and textures, the exhibition presents a diverse array of works that demonstrate the tactile beauty and narrative depth of clay. Each piece reflects the unique dialogue between artist and material, capturing moments of transformation that occur within the kiln. As a medium steeped in history, ceramics is inherently tied to human culture, yet it continues to evolve with new techniques and bold ideas. The Kiln Room offers a glimpse into this progression, showcasing works that range from the deeply traditional to the strikingly contemporary. This new addition to Artizan Collective’s programme at Delamore Arts underscores our commitment to fostering creative excellence and presenting engaging, meaningful exhibitions. We invite visitors to immerse themselves in the textures, forms, and stories of The Kiln Room, celebrating the enduring allure of ceramics as both craft and art.
