Fair dates for 2026: click here for details. I will be releasing my Christmas tree ornament to newsletter subscribers only on 1st October. I will then be taking them to Only Clay on 9th & 10th October and they will be available for general sale after that. There is a link to subscribe to my newsletter at the bottom of this page.

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
