Lucinda Kirkby
Maker's Story
Lucinda Kirkby is a north London-based ceramicist, specialising in decorative porcelain sculptures. Born in Australia, she studied at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and Chelsea College of Arts, London. Her sculptures are ethereal, composed of layers of paper-thin porcelain, which are shaped into flowers. Recently, she was one of the artists in residence at Guldagergaard, a renowned ceramics research centre in Denmark. She also creates functional pieces, including cups and saucers.
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.
