Personal statement

Claire is Programme Leader for MA Fine Art, Pathway Leader for MA Fine Art (Ceramics), and Lecturer for the Integrated Foundation in Art and Design.

Claire's practice meditates on the human face and is driven by the material qualities of clay. She is currently developing the role of photography in her work - to capture the raw qualities of clay.

Her book ‘The New Ceramics - Sculpting and Handbuilding’ was published by Bloomsbury in 2013.

Founder of 'Blooming Whiteway', an ongoing socially engaged project in Bath, Claire is also combining creative expertise with horticulture and community.
