Joy Palin is a ceramic artist working across functional and sculptural forms, using wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques. Her practice is a response to the natural world, drawing inspiration from the shifting rhythms of coastal landscapes, the quiet endurance of woodlands and the subtle complexity of organic forms.

​

Joy is currently exploring the material potential of slate processing waste, transforming an industrial by-product into a distinctive range of glazes. These glazes produce rich, earthy shades, with subtle variations that reflect the depth and character of the raw material. This approach extends her ongoing interest in material provenance, reinforcing a practice shaped by resourcefulness and sensitivity to place.​
