Karen Smith Ceramics

Small stories – I graduated in 1987 from Grays School of Art, Aberdeen and I naturally express myself in a figurative manner using people and animals to evoke emotion and create a narrative. My inspiration comes from a variety of sources and a meandering mind. Each piece is hand sculpted in stoneware clay and fired to 1230C.

Having exhibited widely at art events and galleries, I then have had a career break working as a conservator/restorer of ceramics and being a mum. I am now back at a gentler pace and let ideas morph from an initial spark to “must get to work!”
