Sarah Rees Lloyd - Bachelor of Arts Degree in Three Dimensional Design - Wood, Metal, Ceramics & Glass. Sarah set up a studio to design and make contemporary functional ceramics. Her work distils organic and geometric forms predominantly found in the moorlands and shorelines of Angus and the sculptural aspects of Mid Century Brutalist architecture. Sarah is influenced by her South Asian heritage, specifically the vibrant colours applied to temple architecture, which have been central in her development of a rich palette of glaze hues to fit and enhance each piece. I throw stoneware clay on a potters wheel. I design the initial form in sketchbooks and finalise the piece on the potters wheel. Each vessel is made and fired in Brechin, Angus, Scotland. I wish to contribute towards reducing the creation of mass produced poor quality goods that increase landfill. Buying handmade pieces from makers reduces waste, due to work being produced to order or in small batches and are fundamentally made to last.
