Display artist/maker:

Wendy Lawrence

Born: 1968

Ceramicist. Lawrence received a BA in 3D Design (Ceramics) from the University of Central Lancashire in 1998 and has since taught ceramics and run workshops for schools, colleges and community groups. She has participated in symposiums and workshops in Britain, Europe and America and was a guest artist at the International Ceramics Festival, Aberystwyth, in 2003.

She is interested in textures of natural geological forms which she observes on her walks in North Wales, where she resides. She experiments with glaze using highly reactive substances to create rich textural surfaces evoking the natural surface of rock strata. She fires the work to 1,260°C in an electric kiln, varying the atmosphere from oxidation to heavy reduction.
