About

Hand-built Stoneware Ceramic. From her earliest experiments in art Alison has found the variety and beauty of the human form endlessly fascinating and life-drawing was her first love. For her the human element is vital. It was whilst training as an Art teacher, following a course in Ceramic Sculpture that Alison became committed to 3D work. In subsequent years whilst working as a teacher and raising children, she continued making, selling and exhibiting, keeping her passion for sculpture alive by developing her skills in ceramics and extending her sculptural repertoire with experiments in cold-casting and courses in stone and wood-carving; always persisting with the life drawing which gave her inspiration. In 2011, she gained a BA in Art and Design from Brighton University in 3D Materials Practice (Wood Metal Plastic and Ceramic). She now works from her Brighton studio creating sculpture in clay, wood and stone. In her own words: ‘I am drawn to organic materials and especially enjoy working with ‘found’ wood from the natural environment. Life drawing provides my inspiration. The ideas take shape through a dialogue with the materials to represent the essence of a posture, relationship or emotion’ The fluid, sensuous forms are the product of her lifelong fascination with the human figure, realised through a ‘hands-on’ response to the organic materials she uses. Alison has a licentiateship of The Society of Designer Craftsmen. She is a member of The Adur Art Collective and Sussex County Arts Club. Recent exhibitions include New Designers Business Centre, LondonPortico Gallery Riverhead and Wysing Arts in Cambridge.
