Interwoven Forms: The Art of Lace and Clay

Lesley Farrell creates sculptural forms in ceramic.

Her hand-built vessels employ traditional coiling and pinch construction methods. 

Many of the pieces are double walled, creating the illusion of density, with delicate surface patterns sourced from vintage lace. 

She is interested in exploring how traces of the past can be held and recalled through hand-made objects.  The transfer of the surface pattern relies on the touch of the original lace enfolding the ceramic form.  The work alludes to the former life of the lace and the absence of the persons who owned and made it.   

Having obtained a degree in Ceramics from Loughborough College of Art & Design, Lesley now pursues a career in the gallery sector and is an established curator

alongside her studio practice.  She also has an MA in Photography and a PGCE Art and Design.

We are delighted to welcome Lesley to our contemporary fold of exceptional artists.
