Carrick is Scotland based ceramicist - Aimee Holt, an independent maker creating hand thrown and hand built pieces.

The name Carrick, meaning rock, is taken from a coastal area near her hometown in rural Galloway - where much of her inspiration took root.

The raw and elemental beauty of the Scottish coastline continue to guide her work - the roughness of the rocks and the deep grounding palettes of the land, inspire the colour, texture and finish of each piece. Some forms are partly left unglazed, echoing the coastal land, lending a brooding and earthy character that reflects the rugged Scottish landscape.

I like my work to be simple and minimal with a connection to traditional ways of making - where no two pieces are exactly the same - an invitation to slow down and connect to land, tradition and to the ritual of daily use.
