Sally was born in 1971, Boston, Lincolnshire. She gained a BA (Hons) Three Dimensional Design in Ceramics and is a Professional Member of the Craft Potters Association. As well as exhibiting her work throughout the UK, Sally travelled 10,000 miles around America in 1995 visiting teaching centres and universities meeting many people in the art & craft industry. The following year, she was awarded a Crafts Council Setting-up grant. Sally models figures using slabs of porcelain or stoneware clay, forming tubes from which the work evolves. Oxides and engobes are washed on before a firing of 1170°c. The work is then finished with a sawdust firing which creates the distinctive, subtle patterns of smoke on the figures. |
