Maker's Quote
“My work is created through a series of repeated slow gestures until I feel my ideas are being translated into three-dimensional form. It is a complete collaboration between my body, hands and the clay.”
The Process
Inspired by literature and plants, Lucinda’s pieces are created through a range of hand-building techniques. She uses a number of specialist tools, many of which are adjusted for each piece.
