Andrew Tremain is a ceramic artist who was born in England, emigrating to Australia in 2005. Andrew now lives in Western Australia where he makes crystalline glazed ceramics from fine white porcelain clay.
The inspiration for his forms comes when he is throwing the clay on the wheel, focusing on creating curved forms that enhance the crystals that form in his glazes. His crystalline glazes have a high glass like shine that captures the light and makes the crystal formations pop out from the surface that result in subtle depths of surface. Andrew’s pieces create a horizon of heights, shapes and colour variations that are a pleasure to live with.

Andrew came across crystalline glazed ceramics in 2017 and was immediately captivated by these beautiful crystals that form in the glaze. He then immersed himself in researching this glazing technique and experimenting with making his own crystalline glaze recipes and firing schedules.
Crystalline glazes are expensive and time consuming to produce. There can be many failures, but when it all goes right the results are spectacular.
“Making my own glazes I love to experiment to find new colour combinations and throwing forms to best enhance the crystal formations.”
