Sleeping Sighthound in Amber Topaz with Trim

For some time I worked for some time as a pet portrait artist and then a polymer clay artist, but as the clay became difficult to source during the pandemic, and suffering from the wear and tear on my hands that sculpting with the stiffer clay brings, I took the decision to jump into the world of ceramics. It has been a steep learning curve but fortunately I like a challenge and now I wouldn’t dream of doing anything else.

I specialise in sculpting sighthounds with their wonderful graceful lines and gentle natures. My curled-up sleeping hounds really need to be picked up and held to be properly appreciated. They are part press-molded, part sculpted, so each one is an individual and glazes are brushed-on in different combinations and layers.
