In this month's meeting of the Bucks Pottery and Sculpture Society our guest speaker will be ceramicist Lucy Baxendale.
Lucy uses surrealist automatism to create detailed drawings which become the starting point for her porcelain pieces. Fascinated by the journey from two-dimensional sketches to three-dimensional sculptures, Lucy explores the shifting relationships between the lines in her drawings. As these lines transition into tangible forms, their narratives also evolve.
The outcome of these explorations are one-of-a-kind 3D drawings, intentionally unglazed and stained to echo the essence of a sketch. Through her work, Lucy bridges the realms of imagination and materiality. She invites observers to witness the evolution of lines into stories, forging connections between the drawn and the sculpted.
Lucy also makes a homeware range that is inspired by characters that sprang to life within her drawings - a playful attempt to marry fun with practicality and bring joy to the everyday.
Examples of her work can be seen at www.lucybaxendale.com.
The meeting will be held at Little Kingshill Village Hall (HP16 0DZ) on Friday 30th May from 8-10pm. Entry is free for BPSS members, £5 for visitors. For more information about the Society see our website www.buckspotters.com - we are also on Facebook and Instagram.
