In their hands - Ceramic

Valerie sculpts, paints and makes prints. Her inspirations derive from ancient art forms, archaeology and her love of natural structures. Her sculpture is mostly figurative - human, animal and bird forms - but occasionally she creates abstract works. Through close observation of her grandchildren, she captures their movements at play in remarkably evocative sculptures.

Valerie’s unique works are modelled in clay, coloured with glazes and fired to stoneware temperature for outside use. Work for replication is cast in resin, stone or bronze - to order.
