Ceramics
| I am a self-taught ceramicist and multi-media maker/designer and painter. I have a BA (Hons) in English Literature. years. During this time, I have worked with watercolour, pastels, acrylics, fabric, paper, and other mixed media, but clay has always had a special place. I make one-off, hand-built ceramics by coiling, pinching, pressing or using slabs mainly from stoneware clays and finish them with metal oxides. I live and work in Bristol, and I am a member of the Clifton Arts Club, and Bristol Potters. Texture and earthy, muted tones in eroded surfaces, natural objects, shells, stones, leaves, and bones fascinate me. I am not so much interested in functionality: my work is an exploration of shape and texture. |
