Ceramics
As ceramic production in Britain is becoming more reliant on outsourcing to the Far East , connections to traditional craft skills of the past are being lost. Along with an increasing awareness of her environmental impact as a potter, Lucy’s work seeks to communicate this decline in craft and heritage to the viewer, and promote the geological and historical richness of the local area.
Through wheel thrown methods and printing techniques, multiple miniature jar and bowl shapes act as a basis for her pieces. The chemical changes that occur within the kiln act similarly to that of a geological process, transforming the found rock or earth sample into a permanent ceramic piece.
It is her intension that through the sourcing of local materials, and researching cultures and pottery of the past, a greater understanding and appreciation of the world around us is possible.
