Starting her journey with clay in mid 2019, Georgia pulled on knowledge gained from a lifetime spent in creative pursuits including painting, sculpture, drawing and mosaics and a formal education in graphic design specialising in Illustration.
Using clay as her main medium, her sculptures as well as her smaller collection of functional ware draw on the theme of ‘Ocean’ that has been a constant backdrop in Georgia’s life. Each piece is hand built using a variety of traditional techniques and tools, and enhanced with matt hand mixed glazes and commercial underglazes.
“In addition to the influence of the sea, Georgia draws inspiration from her deep and enduring love of children's literature and illustration. Her characters, with their wind swept beards and smoking pipes seem to have dragged themselves straight from the pages of a Herman Melville novel…”
“ I must go down to the sea again, to the call of the running tide…”
“…in a little time I began to speak to him, and teach him to speak to me; and first, I made him know his name should be Friday…”
Robinson Crusoe
“ The sea finds out everything you did wrong…”
