a celebration of the whole community of the school
The ceramic meadow at St Lawrence school was a celebration of the whole community of the school and its connection with the local area.
I wanted the community of the school to create a calm, peaceful space – different from the vibrant, busy classrooms and corridors of the school. I wanted to embrace being outside, and give the kids a sense of influence over this environment.

Hand thrown, twisted and carved, these pieces are inspired by the South Downs where I live. The curving contours represent the undulating hills and furrows of the Downs, ever changing with light, season, perspective.
The colours and textures of the unglazed clay mirror the natural colours of the Downs. The throwing lines echo the chalk paths, tracks and furrows that guide you across this beautiful landscape.
