Working in porcelain to create sculptural forms and wall hangings, Laura’s work not only celebrates the northern landscape, but also her family history.
Her childhood pastime of rock pooling and beach combing remains Laura’s inspiration. She is a collector and retriever, drawing and repurposing treasured objects collected on coastal rambles to create seascape inspired vessels. Laura combines her history with her current practice, imprinting patterns and surfaces from vintage lace and crochet founded in her family’s craftwork, and at times combining her smaller handmade forms with foraged driftwood to create relief wall hangings. Laura is excited by climatic changes, constantly experimenting by layering and combining glazes. Form, colour, texture, and heritage are therefore equally balanced to create unique porcelain forms.
