Deborah is a skilled and imaginative artist specialising in ceramics and sculpture. She gained a BA Honours in Fine Arts and Sculpture at Canterbury college and her experience includes studying ceramics in Italy, working with orphans in Beirut and running a workshop to produce pottery for the National Trust. She has also worked in a variety of primary schools, community groups and residential homes. In 1998 she began exhibiting her ceramics and art work at many venues, was featured in TV "Country Ways" and had work published in "Sculpting Techniques Bible" and "The English Garden". She was a finalist for Benenden Hospital Centenary Artwork and her commissions include sculpture for Coventry PCT.
Of her current work she says " In the past few years I have found myself returning to my fine art background, taking with me a knowledge of pottery making. I find the challenge of working expressively with clay, and more recently with colour and texture, exciting, terrifying and frustrating."
Enjoy Deborah's work for yourself by visiting her Studio at 3 Monastery Gardens, Rotherfield, East Sussex TN6 3NB. She is open on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th of September between 11 am and 6 pm. See 800 clay bottles filling the studio, pictures hanging in the garden and sculptures growing in the flowerbeds. And, to add the finishing touch, she is offering refreshments - along with a very warm welcome to all. Don't miss it!
