Joanna Bird originally trained as a potter for three years with Michael Cardew and practiced in her own right, before setting up a contemporary ceramics gallery in 1994. Over the last thirty years she has built an international reputation in ceramics and sought out fine works which have been acquired by museums and collectors worldwide. As a leading ceramics expert, Joanna specialises also in commissions on all scales, especially installations.
Joanna represents a broad stable of ceramic and glass artists, showing their work in the company of important historic collectors’ pieces at selected London and international galleries and art fairs at her own gallery.
