Roddam, June

Having gained a foundation degree in fine art at North Tyne Metropolitan College in 2005 I continued my education by doing a foundation degree in contemporary ceramics at Newcastle College, graduating in 2010. Through the medium of clay I continue my fine art practise in the making of ceramics. My most recent design ideas are inspired by antique, carved wooden furniture, to make my surface decorations I take an impression in the clay from the wood then transfer this onto my ceramics, which I then paint in a variety of colours. To give my work a vintage look I enhance them with decals.
