Celia Wood is an Edinburgh based ceramicist. Her work celebrates pattern and colour on functional ceramics. 

Celia’s aim is that her audience feels a sense of joy and hope when they see and buy her work.​

​

Fascinated by historical methods of ceramic story telling she combines her hand-built pieces with naive, lighthearted contemporary illustrations.

​

Her inspiration comes from nature, literature, medieval and folk art, slow living and wellbeing. This is translated through fun, characterful imagery, line work and print techniques learnt in her BAHons Illustration degree at Edinburgh College of Art. ​

​

She works in earthenware and terracotta, for a low firing temperature that keeps colours vibrant. She hand builds for control and to create unique and individual ceramic canvases for her drawings.   

Every ceramic is a one-off so it is rare that she makes the same piece twice. 

​

Work is available to buy in small batches through her online shop, a variety of stockists and regular exhibitions.
