Clair Robinson
After moving to the Isle of Wight as a child, Clair discovered a lifelong passion for working with clay. She studied Ceramics and Art at A level, then earned a diploma in Ceramic Design in Southampton in 1987. Her career included roles such as production manager at a local pottery, before qualifying to teach pottery at the Isle of Wight College. In 2002, the original studio site was redeveloped, and classes moved to Jubilee Stores where she is currently a tutor and technician. Affectionately known as the “Glazy Queen” or “Kiln Goddess,” Clair continues to inspire others through her teaching and love for ceramics.
