Anne Webb, a native of Canada, has been working in clay since the early 1990s and got a BA in Sociology before discovering clay. Techniques she uses are 'sgraffito', bas relief incising or carving, and loose, stylized brushwork. She finds carving into the clay particularly gratifying, in that it not only gives surface texture, but designs take on a life of their own and seem to evolve by virtue of the carving process; No two designs are ever identical. Handmade pottery for her, is all about the process and the human connection so she has deliberately chosen not to hide the  evidence of the process, believing that the visual and tactile nature of the designed surfaces  enhances that human connection between the maker and the user.

Once She started to incorporate sgraffito techniques it allowed her to carve intuitively to the forms, and leave behind a visually striking line and tactile finish.
