Leeks Victoria
Victoria describes herself as a ceramicist and a printmaker. Both disciplines express her love for the natural world, be it plants or birds, whether in two or three dimensions, she successfully reduces her motifs to their essential, uncluttered forms.
Ceramics and printing making
About Me
BA Hons Glass and Ceramics MA Glass and Ceramics
My main medium is Ceramics but also like Lino cutting, eco printing and collagraph printing. I think my style is recognisable either in ceramics and printing. I use Porcelain Paper clay in ceramics which I either glaze in a red glaze or leave ‘naked’ I love making, whether it is ceramics or printing and I like to show pieces for exhibitions and edan gives me the outlet to show my work
I am interested in Asia and this has influenced my work over the years. Also the coast has interested me as I have lived near the coast where ever I have moved to. I also love plants and birds.
My mother was born in the North East to a mining family. When we left Hong Kong we came back to live here. I love living in this part of the country and feel I have come back to my roots.
When I left University in 2007 I didn’t know where to go next. A good friend suggested joining edan and I have been a member ever since. Edan has given me the confidence to push myself and as I love making art, this fits in with my life style.
