Hi, I’m Supatra, the artist behind Blank Earth.

I started Blank Earth because I had a passion for traditionally-made artisanal crafts and wanted to create unique and authentic ceramics, reminiscent of when things were “made to last” and nothing was thrown away. I’ve always had a love for antiques; my happy place is rummaging through market stalls with the hope of finding a forgotten treasure - one of those classic, timeless pieces that never go out of fashion. It’s important to me that my ceramics are made to last, beautiful and functional so that when you come to Blank Earth you’re taking home pottery that you can treasure for years to come.

The Core Collection is a range of homeware for the everyday; each piece is handmade to order so you can choose the colours and add personal touches for you and your home. I hope that these ceramics bring you moments of joy as special and functional wares to use each day.

My Kiln Openings, which happen throughout the year, celebrate the traditional Japanese technique of hollowing and carving clay. Each of these ceramic pieces is truly unique; the time taken to slowly carve each one celebrates the texture of the raw materials in contrast to “perfect” mass-produced ceramics.

I discovered my love for pottery whilst living in Singapore where I worked as a biologist before returning to the UK and becoming a full-time potter. I now live and work in a small flint cottage in the Suffolk countryside, surrounded by forests and fields, with my partner Paul who helps me from time to time in the Blank Earth studio. I wanted to bring where we live now into my pottery, this was the foundation of my kurinuki cottages - bringing the traditional techniques I learnt in Asia to create quintessentially English rustic houses. I’m honoured to be entrusted with making kurinuki houses inspired by real-life homes; creating modern heirlooms for families making their own history.
