Gibbs Russell

Russell Gibbs, is based in Cheddar, Somerset. Previously he spent many years residing on The Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall. As a creator of fine earthenware ceramics and British studio pottery, Russell’s work combines traditional materials and designs with a rich archive of studio and statement pieces.

Originally from northern England, Russell studied pottery at Carlisle School of Art under the guidance of Jim Malone, who had a significant influence on the development of what Russell describes as his ‘more spiritual work’. He is perhaps best known for his simply decorated earthenware pottery, inspired by the Cornish Ware tradition.
