Inspiration and Techniques

Ashley's artistic journey is fuelled by her fascination with the interplay of public and private realms, manifesting in ceramics that encapsulate the essence of Brighton & Hove. Inspired by the paint-laden ironwork railings and ornate street furniture, her techniques involve generous decoration, meticulous painting, and the use of slips to create rich textures. Each piece becomes a visual narrative, documenting specific moments or places of interest in the bustling city. The exaggeration of thrown silhouettes further enhances the unique and captivating details that define Ashley's ceramic works.
