Artists > Carol Read
Carol worked as a nurse while completing an Access to Art and Design Course and then Adult education classes in sculpture and ceramics. She gave up nursing in April 2016 to focus on ceramics. She has been working in collaboration with her partner, Richard Ballantyne, for around 8-9 years.
“Between us we also make thrown studio ceramics and stoneware fired sculptures for home and garden."
Raku Firing is a pyromaniacs delight and very unpredictable. However the results really suit the subject matter and the hares and polar bears (and all the rest of the menagerie) come alive with the white crackle glaze.
“The fun is creating the character of the animal and hopefully adding a bit of humour along the way.”
