HANNAH BILLINGHAM

FEATURED ARTIST

Hannah was awarded the Gibney Prize for Outstanding Achievement at Lincoln College of Art & Design in 2016, and was nominated for the Emerging Artist Award in 2019. Her practice combines a passion for clay, glazes and texture with an obsessive love of symmetry and perfection. She begins by throwing delicate ceramic forms on the wheel, later hand detailing each one with surface decorations inspired by naturally occurring patterns in coral and sea life, along with the shapes her subconscious creates while in deep concentration.

Rhythm and repetition are an important part of the making process finished works may have been kiln fired as many as three times - and her unique approach to glaze chemistry has resulted in a fine balance of colours that accentuate her elaborately dotted surfaces.

Each work is titled for the exact number of dots applied.
