A journey into
creative
possibilities
Hi, I'm Gillian Smith, also known as The Creative Pilgrim.
My current work explores the relationship between clay, touch and place, resulting in unique ceramic vessels that are both sculptural and functional.
Creating a sense of connection - to earth, to material, and to the quiet beauty found in considered, honest making.
Alongside making, I deeply value creative sharing - exchanging ideas, encouraging exploration, and inspiring others to trust their own creative voice and process.
After many years as a mixed-media artist, I discovered clay and was drawn to its tactile, responsive nature. My ceramic practice is process-led and intuitive, embracing surface variation, subtle imperfections, and earthy finishes. Every piece is one of a kind, made slowly by hand and designed to hold space within the home..
