Mary Boddington
I get inspiration from organic things e.g. seed heads, which have been containers themselves in the past. I enjoy the fact that clay is 'of the earth' and develops as I work. I am half Swedish which is a culture that lives close to nature, also design in Scandinavia is very clean and uncluttered and both these are influences on my work. I work in stoneware clay and enjoy textures and lines as much as colour. I hand-build and often finish with matt glazes or engobes and colouring oxides. The work is twice fired in an electric kiln.
CV
I have done courses at Mid-Warwickshire College and Lancaster Polytechnic and have been involved with clay nearly all my life. For fifteen years I was a member of four arts groups in the Surrey/Hants area and exhibited with these on a regular basis. I moved back to the Midlands in 2002.
