Overview
About the Tutor
Lucy Baxendale is a Ceramicist, Illustrator, and Community Artist from rural Herefordshire. She transforms her sketches into unique 3D sculptures, where lines evolve into stories. Her work bridges imagination and reality, featuring unglazed, stained surfaces that capture the essence of a sketch. Lucy’s playful approach invites you to see drawings come to life in new, unexpected ways. Recognized as Craft and Design magazine’s “One to Watch” in 2011 and one of Ceramics Monthly’s Emerging Artists in 2022, Lucy continues to refine her practice.

The ceramics short course has been an absolute dream. Lucy is so knowledgeable and supportive, she's really encouraged me to find my own personal style which has been a magical experience. I would recommend it to anyone considering getting into clay.
