Lucy Burley
Lucy Burley is a ceramicist who studied ceramics at Wimbledon and Camberwell Art Schools, graduating with a BA Hons in 1996. Her ceramic work is decorative, functional and pure utilizing bright yet semi matt glazes that she developed herself and based upon the colours of the sky, the seashore, precious stones, plants and trees. Lucy creates apparently simple, wheel-thrown bottles, bowls, vases and jugs which are useful but also have a sculptural, still-life appearance when grouped together. She is inspired by the paintings of Giorgio Morandi and seeks to create a similar sense of quiet harmony of form and colour, bringing together many shapes and shades to create a single sensibility.
