Moyra Stewart is a Scottish ceramicist who has worked with clay for more than forty years. Graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 1979, she lived in Canada for twenty years, working on community projects and residencies with young people. Upon moving back to Scotland in 1999, she co-founded the Steeple Arts Co-Op which, in partnership with WASPS, became the “The Steeple” studios and community arts facility in the old courthouse Newburgh, Fife. Moyra now works from her home studio in Auchtermuchty. Her ceramics have been exhibited widely across the UK, in Canada and Japan, and in 2015 she was awarded Craft & Design Maker of the Year prize.

Primarily a hand builder, Moyra also uses slab and press moulding techniques to reproduce her oval sculptural vessels. She has perfected a multi-layered Naked Raku technique that resembles Gneiss, an ancient rock found in the west coast of Scotland.
