Lesley Farrell creates ceramic vessel forms using traditional coiling and pinch construction methods. The pieces are double walled, creating the illusion of density, with delicate surface patterns sourced from vintage lace, applied using layers of coloured slip and glaze. She is interested in exploring how traces of the past can be held and recalled through hand-made objects. Having obtained a degree in Ceramics from Loughborough University, Lesley has pursued a career in the gallery sector and is an established curator alongside her studio practice. She holds an MA in Photography from Nottingham Trent University and a PGCE in Art and Design from the University of Brighton.
