Artdor Gallery: The Story of Dorienne Carmel
Ceramic Sculptures & Handmade Portraits
About Dorienne Carmel –
Multi-Award-Winning Ceramic Artist
I’m Dorienne Carmel, a multi-award-winning ceramic artist creating unique handmade sculptures full of personality, charm, and imagination.
Working from my Hertfordshire studio, I craft one-of-a-kind ceramic artworks using stoneware or earthenware clay.
I specialise in portraits from photos, capturing true likenesses in ceramic.
Many of my pieces feature playful or abstract elements and are often enhanced with natural materials like driftwood, pinecones, wire, and reclaimed wood.
My style combines storytelling and texture with traditional craftsmanship.
Whether it’s a whimsical character, a quirky garden sculpture, or a deeply personal portrait, no two pieces are ever the same.
Every artwork is entirely handmade and sculpted with care.
Over the years, my ceramic work has earned nearly 50 awards and has been exhibited throughout the UK.
I create for private collectors, interior designers, galleries, and anyone looking for something meaningful and different.
I was previously an active member of the Hertfordshire Visual Arts Network and took part in exhibitions, open studios, and events that supported the local arts community.

Dorienne Carmel –Award-Winning
Ceramic Artist in Hertfordshire
Dorienne Carmel is a multi-award-winning ceramic artist based in Hertfordshire, UK.
Her handmade sculptures are known for their originality, charm, and emotional depth — combining traditional craftsmanship with playful, imaginative design.
She works primarily in stoneware and earthenware clay, often blending them with natural or found materials such as driftwood, pinecones, wire, and reclaimed wood.
The result is a body of work that is deeply personal, richly textured, and full of storytelling character.
Dorienne’s artistic foundation was shaped by formal studies at Hatfield University and the Byam Shaw Art School, where she developed strong traditional skills that she now combines with a bold, contemporary voice.
Every sculpture is made by hand in her studio, with no moulds, and no shortcuts — each piece is completely unique.
