R&B Ceramics

R&B Ceramics is a collaboration between two ceramic artists - Richard Ballantyne and Carol Read.

Carol and Richard began a working partnership around 2010. The resulting ceramic art is a fusion of both their skills, contributing to each other’s work and creating new work together. Their ceramics are as varied as the British climate – work being both sculptural and functional, life size to miniature, Raku to high fired porcelain. Being not only pyromaniacs, but also collectors from woods, beaches and salvage yards, often the work incorporates found objects in the sculpture - from ash from Mount St Helens in a glaze to stones washed on the beach as plinths- each object telling its own story.
