I am a ceramics artist working in County Durham, she creates sculptural pieces that are inspired by the regions industrial past and her families links to that past. Working with black stoneware and adding colours and textures that soften the shapes and add a different dimension.
I achieved a Masters in Ceramics- 2008, BA Ceramics- First Class, the year before and has been involved with creative industries ever since, lecturing in further education, delivering art sessions within with a charity, involved with a community gallery amongst other community projects although she is currently focusing solely on developing her ceramics practice.
I am an experienced ceramicist who has been working with clay for 20 years. After taking a break from creative practices to start a family, I have spent the last few years reassessing the direction I want my work to travel in. The result is a new body of work that investigates the relationship between the manmade industrial object and natures reclaiming of such objects.
My work is inspired by engineering drawings, 20th century architecture, the industrial landscape and mechanical objects along with natures effect upon the manmade over time, rust, decay, peeling paint etc all inform the surface detail of my pieces.
