I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be back in Penrith in October for Potfest. See my About page for details of more 2025 dates

My name is Gill Banks and Chloris Ceramics is my pottery.  My love affair with crystalline glazing started at University. While looking for a glaze to describe ice, I came across the technique and never looked back.  The process is exacting and not entirely predictable.  No two pots will ever be the same and opening the kiln is like opening Christmas presents.  You never know quite what you’ll find. I am eternally fascinated by the range of colours and the variety of crystal types that can be developed
