Ceramics & Craft Studio Sale 2023 | Joely Clinkard

With a heavy focus on surface painting and texture, Joely's vivid ceramics evolve via collage and drawing, exploring themes around environment, humans and urban nature through intricate surface stories on clay. Slips, textures and glazes are layered up using a range of coloured clays as a dynamic canvas. The vessels created vessels portray in essence the experience of living in the city and that city being its own ecosystem, that ecosystem beautiful due to the unique humans, nature and landscape from which it is formed.
