EMMA BURRILL CERAMICS

Emma Burrill studied fine art photography at the Royal College of Art. Since graduating she has worked in a variety of disciplines as a photographer, collage artist, garden designer and most recently ceramicist.

Emma creates individually unique vessels with geometric structures.  The collection of shapes with similar and related profiles work together to create an interconnected family of forms.

Each piece is hand thrown on the wheel and sculpted during the throwing process.  The soft clay is moulded and carved using a selection of specialist tools to create unique yet consistent textures with multiple layers being individually built to create the sculptural forms.

Emma finishes each vessel with a glossy white glaze creating a family resemblance. Although uniform this glaze allows the minerals and impurities in the clay to burn through adding depth and interest to the surface. Areas of raised textures are gently rubbed back to subtly expose bare clay and further enhance the form.

Available exclusively at Soap & Salvation. Priced from £55 - £225
