Carol Read

Carol Read lives and works in Buckinghamshire, UK, making ceramics in her garden studio and in collaboration with potter Richard Ballantyne.

She initially trained as a nurse, most recently working in women’s health. At school she enjoyed art and ceramics, so continued with creative activities for relaxation. When her children were small she joined an evening class in watercolour painting. This led to an Access to Art and Design course which included ceramics and sculpture.

Since 2008 she has been collaborating with the potter Richard Ballantyne as R&B Ceramics.
