Carolyn Tripp - Ceramicist

03/08/19 • 35 min

Carolyn graduated from Camberwell College of Arts with a BA(Hons) Ceramics in 1998. Since then, she has mixed making her own work with various teaching appointments. Carolyn currently teaches at and helps to run a social enterprise in North London working with adults recovering from and living with mental health illness.

Carolyn's current body of work takes inspiration from a small Chinese style bottle given to her in childhood. She enjoys the freedom of its maker to mix up pattern, creating vibrant and accidental surfaces and she applies this to her thrown porcelain vessels . Some are quire usable, others a visual treat. Using the traditional process of underglaze decoration, Carolyn hopes to create pieces to look at and to treasure.

Henrietta Stuart - Painter

Henrietta paints in oil and canvas, has recently started to paint over a gesso ground on board. She builds up the paintings using layer on layer of paint playing with the transparent and opaque qualities of different colours, techniques used by Titian and Turner. She has started to incorporate silver/copper and gold leaf into some of the paintings which gives a different play on light using the reflective quality to add another dimension.

Henrietta's works are to be found in collections in New York, Houston, Vancouver, Sydney, Perth, and Paris as well as the UK.

Georgia Kitty Harris - Illustrator & Printmaker

Georgia Kitty Harris is a London-based printmaker and illustrator, who studied Fine Art at Kingston and did an MA in printmaking at the Royal College of Art.

Georgia's work currently uses animals as avatars to explore an interest in taxonomy. The ways in which people classify and group themselves is in a constant state of flux, and there's something she finds reassuring in the collective nouns and orders of animals. It's like an anthropomorphic representation of belonging.

While listening to the interview, please check out Kitty's artwork here as it puts it in better context.
