LILLY REID
Merging pottery and sculpture, Lilly Reid’s work is an ode to the ceramics industry. Her stoneware and porcelain ceramic forms are a unique mix of wheel thrown pottery and hand built sculpture, that depict British wildlife asleep within the native flora (such as foxtail and Yorkshire fog). The inspiration for her sculptures evoke the golden age of British childrens illustration, such as Beatrix Potter and Walter Crane (Aesop’s Fables). Entirely self-taught, her work is an accumulation of her childhood, her love of the ceramics industry and the encouragement she has received from the wonderful artisan community of her home.
