Effie Gibson

Ceramic Ceramics

Initially trained as a painter at the Royal College of Art, Effie came to ceramics as another way of exploring mark making, colour and texture. With a focus on the materiality of clay, her works are inspired by weathered natural surfaces, rock formations and the details of wintery landscapes.
