Bianca Bernstein

Bianca lives and works at her home in Cape Town.

She is a self-taught potter, with a deep-seated passion for ash and rock glazes.

Bianca works primarily in stoneware and on the wheel, and reduction-fires her work to just under 1300 degrees Celsius in a gas kiln named ‘Mathilde’.

She is inspired by the Anglo-Oriental tradition and English medieval traditions, as well as various Japanese and Korean dynasties.

Her list of favourite glazes include Chun blue, Shino green and Celadon.

Bianca’s dedication is to functional pots, designed to enrich people’s lives, homes and daily experiences.
