Karen Welsh is a contemporary ceramicist who is fascinated
by the human form. Her work explores the figure from
a predominantly 3D approach.
Her sculptural forms are created by traditional methods
often partnered with new technologies including virtual
reality sculpture, digital photography & rapid
prototype engineering.
She studied ceramics at the University of the West
of England, the Kunst Akademie in Den Bosch &
the European Work Centre for Ceramics in the Netherlands
where she worked with international artists &
designers.
Following her graduation in 2000 she has received
many awards, exhibited on a national & international
level and has been selected as an artist in residence
for many projects. She works with arts organisations
& schools and galleries such as The Holburne Museum
of Art, Bath University & the Arnolfini to explore
the boundaries of contemporary ceramics.
Her jewellery is made from silk-screen printed images
fused onto fine bone china.
The black & white flowers collection is inspired
by classic diamonte 1930’s jewellery and the
blue bamboo collection features interwoven stems of
Chinese bamboo.
Prices range from £9.
