Collection: Lesley Doe Ceramics

I am a Ceramic Artist who explores the repetition of form through slip casting. I am drawn to casting mundane, everyday, objects that populate our lives without a great deal of thought; objects which are considered to be useful but not beautiful, and which are often disposable. My process is transformative of these ‘found’ objects. By rendering them into porcelain, a prized material, and firing them to a high temperature, these otherwise ephemeral items are transmuted into objects of beauty and permanence far removed from their original condition.The resulting pieces subtly question our own relationship with these objects which are comfortably familiar; used and touched every day, but rarely thought of.
