Bea Saw

Bea Saw (born Beatrice Sawmill) is a British artist and ceramicist known for her distinctive, often humorous, sculptural ceramics. Her work frequently features animals, particularly dogs and cats, rendered in a stylized and slightly surreal manner. Saw's pieces are characterized by their vibrant colours, playful forms, and intricate surface decoration.

Born and raised in rural England, Saw's work is often seen as reflecting her connection to the natural world and a whimsical, individualistic sensibility. She gained prominence in the contemporary crafts scene in the early 2000s and has exhibited widely in galleries and museums across the United Kingdom.

Saw's techniques include hand-building, slip-casting, and a variety of glazing and firing methods. Her artistic influences are diverse, ranging from folk art traditions to contemporary design. Beyond her individual artistic practice, Saw has also been involved in collaborative projects and workshops, sharing her skills and passion for ceramics with others. Her work is collected both privately and by public institutions.
