| New collection of sgraffito decorated slipcast porcelain vessels by the Edinburgh ceramicist Lara Scobie.
Lara makes individual slip-cast vessels and bowls in porcelain and Parian clay. The work is predominantly concerned with the dynamic interplay between form and pattern, explored through the cohesive integration of drawing, surface mark-making, and volume. Lara’s simple, considered forms are constructed from soft slabs of clay, with delicate rims and edges. The off-center ellipses of the individual forms echo line drawings and decoration applied to the painted surfaces. A graduate of Camberwell Art College in London, Lara holds a Postgraduate Degree in ceramics from Edinburgh College of Art. She has exhibited extensively and received numerous awards for her work, including the Premier winner of The Fletcher Challenge in New Zealand and Honourable Mention at Mino Ceramics, Japan. Lara is a fellow of the Craft Potters Association of Great Britain and a professional member of Contemporary Applied Arts, London. She has extensive teaching experience, having taught ceramics and design at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art for over 20 years. Lara Scobie is represented exclusively in Cornwall by the Porthminster Gallery in St Ives. The exhibition accompanies the current ‘Azure Sea and Sky’ show of St Ives Bay paintings by Martyn Perryman and Jenny Hirst. All works in the exhibition are framed and for sale. |
