Doyle, Shirley Anne

I have always preferred to do 3D slab work and hand built ceramics. My work is influenced by plants, water, the sea and wildlife. I love making pieces that are based from (mostly ) my photographs and sketches. I roll out pieces of white stoneware clay and create walls to infill with recycled and granulated glass, experimenting with blending the two together to get an effect. I also enjoy making T-lights that create shadow play on different surfaces.
