Contemporary ceramics. Distinct by design.
Kyria Wright Ceramics - created through layered print techniques, colour exploration and a passion for the unpredictable.
Kyria Wright Ceramics
Kyria’s love of clay started early - long before ceramics became her craft, she was happiest covered in mud. It was only natural that this instinct grew into a lifelong passion for making. After graduating from the University of Wolverhampton in 1999 with a degree in Ceramics, she exhibited at Fired Earth in both Rufford Mill and Hatfield House. She went on to teach Design and Technology for many years, shaping creativity in others before stepping back to focus on family.
During lockdown, Kyria explored mixed media through textiles and discovered Geli printing, producing a series of abstract collages. But the pull of clay never left. That curiosity to translate layered print and texture onto ceramic surfaces has brought her back to her core practice. Inspired by everyday moments - from natural colour combinations to architectural details and spontaneous marks - she uses mono printing, coloured slips and transfer techniques to create richly decorative, experimental surfaces. Each kiln opening carries an element of surprise, resulting in truly individual pieces shaped by process, instinct and discovery.
