I wish to evoke ‘feeling’ and mirror ‘gesture’ through the use of fast marks, quick making techniques and ‘sketches’. My work sometimes has an unfinished quality which adds to the idea that the figure is a suggestion of a living being rather than a still ornamental object. It is important to me that my figures have an identity and are able to connect with an audience in a non physical sense. My ideas, feelings and thoughts are directly conveyed into the clay using the minimum of tools. The clay picks up every gestural mark, mirroring me and I push it around.

The clay is almost part of me. Its my friend. a connectivity. A way of self expression without words.

Sharon Griffin is a figurative artist who specialises in ceramic sculpture directly inspired by the
landscape and the woodland in particular, where she often explores places to ‘breathe’.

Sharon is a Selected Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors (MRSS) and a Selected Member of the Craft Potters Association (CPA). She has a degree and an MA in Ceramics from the University of Wolverhampton 1997 and 2003. She has exhibited extensively, including Ceramic Art London.

Publications include Inside Artists Magazine, 2018, Landscape and Portrait, State of the Art, Bare Hill Publications 2014 and Art Has No Borders, 101 Artworks featuring the Animal Kingdom 2014.

Using clay as her sculptural medium, preliminary sketches and drawings from life inform the work, helping ideas evolve and come to life. Once in the workshop, when the clay is being worked with directly, the sculpture is allowed to reveal itself: a conversation with clay.
Oxides, slips and glazes are worked into the surface of the clay, creating textured, multi-layered works of art which evoke character and energy. Her in depth understanding of the material merges
traditional sculpting techniques with a contemporary approach to create sculpture full of
movement, gesture, meaning and which capture the essence of humankind.
