🌟 Artist Spotlight Claire Pringle
I use ceramic techniques to capture and preserve things of beauty and importance.
My current body of work focuses on capturing and preserving two diverse areas; domestic handicraft skills, such as sewing, crochet and knitting that have been passed down the generations and locally found wild plants.
Preserving the skills of my female ancestors is important to me. Detailed crocheted pieces created by my great grandmother can often be seen within my work. The incredible skills needed to create such intricate work are so often overlooked and seen only as 'women's work'. By preserving them in porcelain I hope to raise the status of these overlooked skills..
