About Karen
“Ceramics are similar to life – unpredictable and you never know quite what is coming next.”
The main body of work on show at the gallery is produced with a combination of smooth and fine black clay with rough, glazed finishes. Many hours of testing volcanic glazes have enabled Karen to convey the textures and tactility of sand, cliffs and the sea.
The glazing has allowed her to share the narrative of the Cornish coast, which has been added in layers of different degrees to give the idea of movement to the surface.
There is a small range of porcelain, stoneware & earthenware pottery, all inspired by the surrounding coastal areas.
