bio

My range 'Sculptional' is a merging of sculpture and functionality. Art with an 'extra' purpose. Two of the items in the “Still Shakin’” exhibition are made from the joining of separate pieces, allowing the salt and pepper to have their own compartment. You hold the piece at different angles depending on whether you want the salt or pepper. In regards to the materials and technical processes, I work mainly in slip-casting, I produce forms in plaster, which I then mould. The work is then constructed using the individual casts to create one uniformed piece. It is then coloured using stains, Transparent Glaze and screen printed enamels.
