About Christina
Simple forms. Smokey shadows. A glint of colour. Christina is a mixed-media ceramic artist with a strong connection to the coast. Sculptural in form, her work is inspired by the stacked formations of the North Cornwall coastline. Standing tall, precariously balanced; showing strength beside fragility. Exploring the relationship between both form and finish, her handbuilt pieces are barrel fired with foraged seaweed and driftwood. The raw finish reminiscent of the mineral rich landscape. Her signature touch of copper detail linking back to Cornwall’s rich and industrial mining heritage.

Biography Back to top

With a background as a Designer, Christina's passion for sculptural forms led to her study of Ceramics. Having lived by the coast in both Australia and now Cornwall, her work is inspired by the connection between land and sea.

The playful balance of shapes reminiscent of those formed by the erosion of the ocean; the raw colour palette echoing the mineral rich landscape.

The connection to the land is further enhanced by her firing process. Each ceramic vessel is fired using the traditional method of barrel firing. Pieces are carefully loaded into the barrel with locally foraged combustibles including driftwood and their inherent iron nails; seaweed and cuttle fish bone. The vessels are then polished with a local beeswax to enhance the natural colour and shine. Her addition of copper detailing adding a glint of reflection.
