Artist Profile - Lucy Baxendale

Lucy Baxendale

Using a form of a surrealist automatism, she draws from her unconscious to produce pen and pencil drawings which often become the inspiration for her ceramic work. She is curious about how you choose to translate a 2D drawing into a 3D form and pushes herself to build challenging porcelain structures, using a variety of different hand building techniques. Her unusual homeware range, inspired by imaginary worlds, is a playful attempt to bring fun to function.

Lucy also produces large murals and illustrations for clients and works on a variety of Community based Arts Projects. She teaches Ceramic short courses at Hereford College of Arts, Cabalva Ceramics & occasionally from her own studio.

She is a member of Potters in Bristol, and shares her work through exhibitions, fairs and markets. Her studio is not currently open to the public, but appointments can be made here.
