Fiona Byrne-Sutton ceramics
My sculptural press moulded vessels are physical, expressive of geological processes and embedded with Scottish clays I dig up. Each is hand made and unique. The vigorous handling of clay is a balance of risk and control. In exploring our natural heritage and biodiversity I am developing an imaginative geopoetic map of Scotland from my Glasgow studio. My current range of work can be bought and commissioned here and also from shows. I am curating the exhibition, Changing Ground, land and art, (TBC) in association with The Barony Centre, Main St, West Kilbride, KA23 9AR which runs 19 July - 15 September 2013.
Features about my work are included in two 2013 publictions, Natural Glazes, Collecting and Making by Miranda France and Additions to Clay Bodies by Kathleen Standen; see the heading Writing for links.
The next weekly South Glasgow, Cardonald and Mosspark pottery evening classes will start this Autumn in September, Tuesday evenings 7-9pm. Contact me for more information. Examples of classwork can be seen under the headings, Pottery Classes and Working with Others
Favourite proverb: "If you would be happy all your life grow a garden." I run mobile pottery classes and projects for adults and children in schools, hospitals and community settings. The projects often feature your local clay and a walk to explore the landscape.
