Path and Inspiration
I discovered the magic of working with clay when I joined the University of Brighton’s 3D Design and Craft course in 2021 and specialised in throwing in my final year.Originally from London, I’ve moved back to start my next chapter where I am currently sewing books for Shepherds Bookbinders to save up for access to a ceramics workshop and my own wheel.Process and Practice
Using an “unpredictable” approach to create something unique has been my driving force recently, challenging my natural gravitation towards perfection and perfectionism.After creating individual elements on the wheel, I reject the customary gentleness with which people treat soft, newly thrown pieces and instead collide them to create colourful collages. This method creates unique piles of shapes where I cannot predict how the clay will collapse and deform into each other upon contact.
