Carol Scott's Bio

Carol Scott was born and brought up in North West London and spent the first twenty years of her working life in the theatre and with the BBC drama departments.

In 1986 she moved to Cornwall, bought a small holding near Helston and became a cattle farmer.  At this time she started work teaching herself to be a studio potter and is grateful for all the encouragement she received from fellow potters.  In 2001 she parted with her cattle, keeping some goats and geese and, together with her husband, planted 5,000 trees.  Since then, working full time in her studio, she has moved from red terra cotta to a smooth white earthenware which gives her colourful decorations more vibrancy.  She makes a wide range of work intended for full domestic use, although much is bought for display by collectors.

Her decorations have changed over the years, some have been subtly altered while others are introduced; influences are, unsurprisingly, the sea and her own landscape with its trees and wildlife.  She had travelled extensively to India, China, the USA and Europe but Cornwall is now home.  Beekeeping since 2015 has added to her decoration influences.

Carol has been a committee member for several ceramics and crafts groups but is now dedicated to her, bees, garden and woodland,  She sells through four galleries including CCA Gallery at Trelissick and other galleries in the South West, for details please see her website at www.scotpot.com

Visitors are welcome to her studio but please telephone first and enquiries welcome.
