 (North Wales School of Art &amp\; Design\, Wrexham Glyndwr University) BA 
 Hons Design: Applied Arts 1st Class  - 2016\n“I founded Inner Finn afte
 r falling in Love with Finland on a five-month residency whilst studying f
 or a Bachelors Degree in Applied Arts and am concentrating on establishing
  myself as an emerging maker”\n\nGaenor Hall UCLAN ( University Of Centr
 al Lancashire) MA Distinction Ceramics 2016\nGaenor’s work is an explora
 tion of how she has developed her use of Ceramic form to express feelings 
 both deep-rooted and transient. Slowly working through\, stripping back an
 d experimenting with form\, function and surface she has found ways of exp
 ressing very real\, yet ethereal elements through abstract forms. Drawing 
 and painting are fundamental in accessing ideas\, often being a pre-requis
 ite to how she may approach and develop her work in clay.\n\nMike McGowan 
 (UCLAN University of Central Lancashire ) MA Ceramics 2016\nMy fundamental
  interest is in the clay itself.\nLandscapes  - especially their formatio
 n and alteration by nature's agents of change: heat\, frost\, wind\, tides
  and time – constitute my primary sources of inspiration.\nI want to al
 low the clay to speak for itself. To this end I have developed a series of
  unique techniques and processes.\n\nRudi Morris (Manchester Metropolitan 
 University) BA Hons 3 Dimensional Design 1stClass 2016\nI have an 'alchem
 ical' approach to making\; questioning the materials that I work with. My
  work focuses on using saggers (A protective vessel used for firing ) as a
  crucible.  This experimental\, material led approach influences and info
 rms the aesthetic of the objects.  The vessel form acts as a crucible for
  material experimentation. Pieces made are fired one inside the other\, ea
 ch vessel\, or\nsagger\, acting like a small kiln during the firing proces
 s.\n\nAttila Olah (Hope University\, Liverpool) BA Hons Ceramics 1st Class
  2016\nAttila’s work explores the power of the vessel: over thousands of
  years\, through association with birth\, nourishment\, ritual\, celebrati
 on and death\, the vessel has become deeply rooted in the human psyche. At
 tila explores the vessel as the archetypal symbol of the body through whic
 h the Self and that which is beyond the Self can be realised. Attila speci
 alises in ceramics and ice sculpture.\n\nRob Parr  (UCLAN University Cent
 ral Lancashire) MA Distinction\, Ceramics 2016\n“My ceramics practice is
  primarily concerned with the exploitation of the qualities that ceramic m
 aterials present\, and how those qualities can be used to create a narrati
 ve of form and presence. Much of my work has been centred on the animal ki
 ngdom and how the use of the ‘plinth’ can be used to create a sense of
  monument”.
