Faye Hadfield (b.1996) is a ceramic artist from the north east of England, whose work explores emotion, while blending Rococo aesthetics with crude handbuilt textures to create material dichotomies between surface and decoration. In Faye’s work memories of the British countryside resurface as motifs through gestures in the foliaged decoration, giving homage to the bucolic landscape of England where she grew up.
Faye completed her BFA in Ceramics at Bath Spa University (Bath,UK), and the Kunst University (Linz, Austria), 2018. Faye holds an MFA in ceramics from The University of Iowa (Iowa, USA) 2026. Faye has exhibited her artwork internationally and nationally at: Collect (London), Le Delta (Belgium), Soho Review (London), Ceramic Art Fair (Paris), Culture Object (New York), HAGD Gallery & Galerie Worlfsen (Denmark), Nomad ST Moritz (Switzerland), Side Gallery (Spain), and annually at Paris Art & Design, in Paris and London. Faye has received international and national research grants to expand her research in ceramics and Rococo Ornamentation. Hadfield has been awarded residencies at Ceramica Suro (Guadalajara, Mexico), The Clay Shed (Bristol, UK) and CRICA exchange residency (Nebraska Lincoln, USA).
