Victoria Bentham

Ards Peninsula, Northern Ireland

Victoria Bentham graduated from the University of Ulster Belfast in June 2012 with a First class Honours degree in Fine and Applied Arts. She now has a small ceramics studio in an old 1770’s blacksmiths workshop (the Smithy) at her home on the Ards peninsula where she makes decorative handmade ceramics. Often working with black clay, Victoria draws inspiration from beautiful old ceramic tiles, intricate architecture and the patterns it contains as well as the places she goes and people she meets.
