About

Yolande Beer CeramicistSussex-born, Yolande studied Three-dimensional Design in Brighton.
A love for ceramics and a flair for life drawing led her to decorate
pots, platters and tiles with lively and flowing figures.

After five years as an established and recognised Brighton Studio-potter, she was awarded sponsorship to travel to Japan.
Here she spent a year and a half brush-decorating tableware and preparing for a solo show in Tokyo.  A subtle Japanese influence is still visible in her work today.

Since her return to England in 1998, Yolande has featured in numerous
shops and exhibitions, and has even collaborated with The Body Shop in
the realm of shop display.
2021 included a move to a pottery studio in Birch Grove, near Forest Row,  E.Sussex.

Up until six years ago Yolande also embraced the teaching side of her
profession – both as an accomplished ceramics teacher at St Leonards
Mayfield school and within her popular Adult Education Classes, at her
her studio.
Yolande now is a full time ceramicist, specialising in brightly coloured
earthenware, durable stoneware and figurative carved wears.

She currently exhibits her unique work in Chalk Gallery Lewes*,
Greenfinch*Ticehurst, and annually in the
Brighton Festival*, and Art Wave Lewes.

Lately she has been focusing on larger works such as carved murals,
commemorative platters and is always happy to make to order. Also, her
figurative tableware is still very much in production.
