Dachshund Ceramic Wall Dog Sculpture - Helen Higgins

Ceramicist Helen Higgins

Helen Higgins is a prize winning ceramicist, nationally renowned for her humorous ceramics. Her pieces are individually hand built employing slab, coil, pinch and modelling techniques, to create her characters. She loves dressing her animals up in costumes - creating animal hybrids with anthropomorphic vibes. 

“I endeavour to explore how we sometimes try to hide our true selves behind a façade, masking our own vulnerabilities by pretending or taking on other characteristics, with the intention of increasing self-esteem and confidence."

Her busy studio and teaching practice is based in south Wales.
