Jessica Lambe is an Australian ceramic artist based in London and studied Fine Art at the Chelsea College of Art where she focused her practice on ceramics.  Materiality is at the forefront of Jessica’s practice, using both traditional handbuilding and throwing techniques she forms sculptural vessels. Through adopting and focusing on a fragmentary approach to form, Jessica’s making allows for space to play and create a dialogue between each piece as an individual, and then as a whole. Through Jessica’s interest in surface texture and reduction firing as a process, she celebrates tradition, function and fine art.

PINK MAGMA

 
Materiality is at the forefront of my practice, and I have always believed that clay has a life of its own despite such a prominent coexistence with its maker. Clay has its own humanistic traits such as memory, movement, tension and fragility. I have formed a collaborative relationship to clay whereby I embrace the fluidity and initiative that clay possesses. Using both hand building and throwing techniques, I form sculptural vessels. Taking a fragmentary approach to my making allows space for me to play and create a dialogue between each piece as an individual and then as a whole.
