This handbuilt piece continues my exploration of thin, delicate forms that still hold their structure. The clay has been worked to feel light and slightly uneven, allowing the shape to form more naturally. The outer surface uses a textured clay that suggests sand, while the inside is finished with a semi transparent glaze to bring in the colour of the sea. The work is inspired by the seashore where I live, particularly the contrast between rough and and smoother, more fluid surfaces.

Based in Ramsgate, Kent, Bronwen Harrison creates ceramic sculptures inspired by the human body and the natural environment. Working primarily in clay, she is interested in the balance between strength and fragility, growth and decay, and the ways in which forms evolve over time.Living on the Kent coast, Harrison draws much of her inspiration from the shoreline around her home. Observations of coastal forms, textures and patterns are translated into ceramic works that reflect the constant processes of change, erosion and renewal found in nature.
