Laurance Simon

Clay and its endless possibilities are a fascination for Laurance and the world of nature is a constant inspiration. She will mentally register shapes, colours, patterns and will fill sketchbooks with drawings or doodles to pursue later when she is back in the studio.

​Her sculptures have an element of storytelling, they borrow from her love of the absurd and surrealism.

Laurance sees her work as a cross between ceramics and fine art and loves building, carving and modelling. The jugs Laurance makes are little clay canvases, it is almost irrelevant that one can use them. For her they marry the love of making and the love of painting.
