Featured Artist

Blandine Anderson

Ceramics – Stoneware

Blandine’s work explores her interest in creatures associated with the British countryside – both in a domestic setting and within the wider landscape. Her larger, stoneware pieces have a very bold, sculptural appearance. The small porcelain pieces are more detailed and representational.

She is fascinated by the way that a simple sculptural form can be totally altered by the addition of a creature.
Depending on the size and character of that animal – the effect can range from: giving it a sense of scale – to: completely disguising the original form.
