Edward in his studio (Falmouth University, 2021)

Edward Scott (b.1998) is an artist living and working in Salisbury, Wiltshire. In 2021, he graduated from Falmouth University, Cornwall,  with a first-class BA(hons) in Fine Art. Following he studies, Edward began working in community arts practice, first at Salisbury Arts Centre, and later at Messums Studios in Chilmark, Wiltshire. It was here, training under Mirka Golden-Hann, that Edward started to explore working with clay and developed a keen interest in ceramic practice.

Coming from a Fine Art painting background, Edward is particularly intrigued by the construction of worlds and use of material narratives to communicate thought and feeling  around themes of community, ritual, reverie and place. Led by materiality, Edward’s practice is concerned with exploring, extending and defining a painterly approach to ceramic practice. Alongside his paintings, he makes functional, often thrown, ceramic artworks that invite using and are designed to be embedded within the routines, rituals and everyday experiences of the people that use them.

In 2025, Edward walked the Camino De Santiago, an experience which continues to inform and shape his practice today. Following this, he successfully applied to further study and was offered a place on the MA Ceramics & Glass programme at the Royal College of Art, London. Edward is excited to commence his Masters in September 2026 where his proposed direction of enquiry will see him explore the dialogue between image and object-making and traditions of storytelling across disciplines.
