Equally responsive to Maltby's work, SHIRLEY VAUVELLE hand-builds small sculptures and assemblages in stoneware clay, porcelain and found materials. She too reflects on the ever-changing face of nature, the strength and fragility of our planet and its creatures. From a textile design background, Shirley is self-taught in ceramics, using her interest in and knowledge of surface pattern and textures to paint and etch into her clay surfaces. Much of her current work is semi-abstract in the interpretation of stone and plant forms in the landscape, much inspired by the country and coast around her Yorkshire home and garden.
