ABOUT ME
Inspired by a life long love affair with the countryside and living on a farm just outside of Bath, Sally is offered ample opportunity to engage and create the characteristics of wild, farm and domestic animals that she encounters.
Hares, a once common feature of the fields and downs are a particular favourite of hers as symbols of femininity and longevity.
Delving deep into the roots of the earth, Sally individually hand forms the textures of the quintessential rolling hills of the English landscape and all of its quaintness within her work - all seen from the view of her studio space set in the hills. All Sally's pieces are individually hand built using stoneware clay to mirror the land of which they are made. They are then fired up to 3 times and she uses slips, glazes and oxides before a final firing of 1260 degrees celsius, eternalising them in their final form.
Sally gained a BA (HONS) in Three Dimensional Design:Ceramics at Bath Spa University.
Visitors are welcome by appointment to the studio. Commissions available upon request.
Sally works from this gorgeous studio in amongst the beautiful flowers growing in the garden. Her much loved dog Pebbles, lays under her work table whilst Sally sculpts - a friendly robin also joins the studio regularly and is the soundtrack to Sallys day.
Sally keeps her work safely stowed away in the Calf Pens, perfect for viewings from customers and galleries. Appointments are always welcome upon request.
