Ana is presently Lead Ceramics teacher at Bedales Senior School in Petersfield. She continues to make pots in her spare time and holidays, working in wheel-thrown porcelain and stoneware from her own private studio. Broad throwing lines and faceting often describe the spontaneous gesture of the maker&#8217;s hands, whilst capturing the malleability of the soft clay she uses. These marks which are key to Ana&#8217;s functional shapes, are enhanced by a quiet palette of fluid reduction glazes, fired to 1280\u02daC.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Ana&#8217;s own work, please visit her <a href=\"http:\/\/anasimmons.wordpress.com\/\">own website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1198 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/tutors\/ana-simmons\/ana_beakers\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/ana_beakers-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/ana_beakers-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/ana_beakers-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/tutors\/ana-simmons\/ana_bowlonplate\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/ana_bowlonplate-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/ana_bowlonplate-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/ana_bowlonplate-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/tutors\/ana-simmons\/portrait\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/portrait-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/portrait-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.workshops-at-wobage.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/portrait-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ana was apprenticed to Jeremy at the pottery for 2 years between 2012 and 2015, following graduation from the Ceramics BA(Hons)degree in Cardiff.
