Scottish ceramicist Wendy Kershaw is known for her illustrated porcelain books and panels. She builds up rich layers of imagery by etching in to clay with sewing needles, then combining underglaze stains, decals, enamels and lustre, to make detailed and unique ceramic illustrations.
She uses porcelain to illustrate an intimate world in which small acts of everyday life are imbued with importance. A sensitive balance of bold composition and subtle detail results in a rich narrative that is both weighty and humorous. Work has playfully interpreted proverbs and poems, and recent work deals with anticipated small joys, often the joy of pudding.
An award winning ceramicist Kershaw exhibits in the UK and internationally. A large influence on her work were three residencies in China, where her work is held in the collections of two museums.
