Sheila Graham
I'm a Warwickshire potter and artist working from the basement of my home in Leamington Spa, UK. Twenty years ago, my passion for working with clay took over from my career as actress and writer.
I am a member of the Association of Midland Artists (AMA).

2026 Warwickshire Open Studios, 20th June to 5th July
SORRY! Venue closed this year
For all Warwickshire artists, these summer arts weeks form a major exhibition and sale across the county. Having visitors coming to your home and seeing where you work is good fun for both visitors and artists.
Looking forward to the summer show!

Lots of new work coming out of the kiln!
As well as making more of my favourites from last year, I have been delving into the art of sgraffito. This involves painting underglaze on an unfired pot, then using a sharp tool to scrape a pattern or an image into the white clay underneath. The pot is then fired and glazed in the usual way.
I still have a love of miniatures and I'm making lots of little bowls that are always useful in the kitchen for sauces and dips. I've also made a number of small vases for the tiny little flowers that never get a chance to show their beauty on a table.

My Teabag and Me
My dip into the world of Teabag Art
Books 1 and 2 of 'My Teabag and Me' tell little stories about me, my family and my work as painter and potter through miniature watercolour paintings on the most unlikely of canvases. I painted a teabag every day for 3 months during Lockdown and these books as well as a collection of greetings cards are a chance to share my bit of fun with others.
Tales from County Tyrone
Together with my husband Alan, 2025 saw the publication of another of my little books. This one, 'Tales from County Tyrone' contains a collection of stories from Alan's childhood in Northern Ireland, illustrated by my drawings and paintings. It was a great fun collaborative project and, who knows, maybe we'll see a sequel in 2026!
