Ewen Henderson
Britain
Mixed media, raw energy. Ceramics as painting.
He combined different clays, bone ash, and metal oxides into raw, painterly vessels.
Ewen Henderson worked with mixed ceramic media, combining different clays, bone ash, and metal oxides to create surfaces of extraordinary complexity. His vessels feel more like geological formations than pottery—craggy, textured, alive with embedded color. Henderson trained as a painter, and his ceramic work carries that painterly sensibility: surfaces built up like impasto, colors layered and broken.
