Featured Artist

Gillian Lowndes

(British 1936-2010)

An artist who continually challenges the idea of an orthodox world of pure ceramics through her use of found objects and experimentation of form and material. "Materials are the source of the ideas as well as their expression." Lowndes quoted in 1987.
