Introducing Hayley Webb: Bringing Creativity to Life at Nynehead Court
We are delighted to welcome Hayley Webb, the talented ceramicist behind Blue Hare Studios at Nynehead Court. With a passion for showcasing the beauty of local wildlife through her intricate sculptures, Hayley brings a fresh and inspiring energy to our estate. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a complete beginner, Hayley’s regular pottery classes offer a fantastic opportunity to get hands-on with clay, explore your creativity, and learn from one of Somerset’s finest artisans.
Joining Hayley at Blue Hare Studios is Chris Webb, whose stunning wheel-thrown domestic ware perfectly complements Hayley’s sculptural work. Together, they have created a vibrant hub of artistry and craftsmanship, open to residents, visitors, and the wider community.
Hayley’s work is deeply inspired by the natural beauty of Somerset, particularly the wildlife that calls this region home. Her sculptures capture the grace of local creatures, from hares poised mid-leap to the intricate detail of an owl’s feathers. Each piece is a celebration of nature, thoughtfully designed and brought to life with care and skill.
Her artistry doesn’t just stop with her own creations—Hayley is passionate about sharing her knowledge and helping others discover the joy of working with clay. Through her regular pottery classes at Blue Hare Studios, she provides a welcoming and supportive environment where participants can explore their creativity, learn new techniques, and create something truly unique.
While Hayley specialises in wildlife sculptures, Chris Webb brings a different kind of artistry to Blue Hare Studios with his beautiful wheel-thrown domestic ware. His collection of functional ceramics, including bowls, mugs, and plates, showcases a refined elegance that makes each piece a joy to use and display.
Chris’s work combines traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, and his dedication to quality and detail shines through in every creation. Visitors to Blue Hare Studios often comment on the harmony between Chris’s domestic ware and Hayley’s sculptural pieces, making the studio a truly inspiring place to visit.
