Isatu was trained in the studio pottery tradition with Andrew Crouch in Ludlow, Shropshire. Working mainly on the potter’s wheel with a range of clays, glazes, and firing temperatures, Isatu makes functional work that is rooted in use.
Her inspiration draws heavily on pre-industrial craft from around the world, with her biggest love being neolithic pottery, which embraces function, beauty, ritual and play, while retaining a level of minimalism.
Her show is in the entrance gallery at Leach Pottery.
