Lucy is a recent graduate living and working in Cumbria, Lucy makes a wide variety of ceramics from animals to homewear.

For Lucy’s animals she uses a unique process of Raku, which involves placing the ceramic pieces in a specially designed raku kiln and subjecting them to intense heat, reaching temperatures as high as 1000°C. However, the true magic happens once the pieces are taken out of the kiln. They are placed into reduction buckets that contain various combustible materials, creating an environment of smoke and reduction. This reaction between heat, smoke, and reduction results in the beautiful crackles that are characteristic of raku ceramics.

Lucy has embraced this captivating technique to create her unique animal sculptures, with a particular focus on sheep, highland cows, and donkeys. These creations are deeply influenced by her upbringing in Cumbria, a place known for its stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife.
