Hannah Watts Ceramics

Hannah Watts uses the sgraffito technique to decorate her stoneware platters, forming striking geometric patterns across their surfaces. Inspired by stretches of time spent in Cape Town, the vibrant ceramics strike a balance between order and spontaneity.

A round stoneware platter, crafted by New Maker Hannah Watts. Shaped using a mould, then decorated using the sgraffito technique of scratching lines and shapes into the clay. For use as tableware or a piece of wall art.

Based between Hampshire and London, Hannah is inspired by the vibrant colours and textiles of Cape Town. Her ceramics blend function with expressive pattern, serving as tangible reflections of her memories and travels.

This item is part of our New Makers programme. In its eighth year, five makers demonstrating excellence in skill, originality and craftsmanship have been chosen by a TOAST panel.

A Sense of Place

At an early age, ceramicist Hannah Watts discovered a close connection between creativity and place. Growing up, she was immersed in the natural world, which became a lasting source of inspiration.

Above all, a six-month stay in Cape Town shaped the course of her practice. “I came across this amazing studio while I was there. On my first day, my mentor demonstrated sgraffito.” 

This method involves carving into a layer of slip to form patterns on the clay. Hannah uses it to create bold, abstracted checks and symmetrical motifs on her stoneware platters. “The first thing I tried was a geometric pattern – it was like a ‘click’ moment, and I haven't looked back.”
