Fiona Mazza is a ceramic artist living in Yorkshire, who started making in 1998.  The core of the work is based on nature, particularly the amazing butterfly world. However, Fiona enjoys the challenge of designing and making individual pieces using many techniques, this allows her to explore clay in many areas.

Fiona’s work is inspired by nature. Butterflies are the main focus. Ceramic Pieces are produced in various techniques, she loves incorporating different materials, often working with other craft makers to produce truly different pieces of work. Fiona loves exploring the surface of the pot, using the surface like a canvas, pushing the material to its limits, often representing the natural world’s challenges from mans impact.

After a fire in the adjoining building of her studio in Pateley Bridge, which destroyed a lot of equipment and important reference work, Fiona slowly started building up a small studio space at home in Harrogate, back where she started, and is determined that this will be a fresh beginning.
