Bridget's influences come principally from the classical forms of European
and Oriental ceramics.
Inspired by museum collections and the work of contemporary artists such as
Lucie Rie and Geoffrey Whiting, Bridget has reached the point where, secure
in her shapes and production concepts, she can now explore the minutest of
touches.
Her elegant and functional shapes are enhanced by the subtle use of glazes,
the addition of silver clasps and attachments (made by a jeweller friend)
and the use of decorative wooden handles on some of her pieces. |
