We are pleased to hear that one of our artists is featured in the high summer edition of the magazine Living North.

Shirley uses white earthenware and under-glazes to make components and small sculptures concentrating on layering colour and texture. These are then assembled together with driftwood, wire, reclaimed maps, vintage magazines and other interesting finds from local beaches. One-off contemporary pieces are made which are either hung or freestanding sculptures. Her inspiration comes from her garden, her love of the coast and the fun of creating objects that are very individual and quirky, with a tale to tell.
