Lynne Speake

Originally a painter, Lynne’s current practice incorporates ceramics and large wearable sculpture (art jewellery). She is directly influenced by her environment, colour, texture, structure and pattern.

Inspired by the peeling paint, erosion and decay that she finds all around in her everyday life, Lynne’s work predominantly incorporates discarded, repurposed and found objects to show the beauty of the rich textures of decay in what we consume and waste. 

Lynne works with porcelain paper clay to create unique hand-built sculptural forms. This form of clay offers more strength and scope for experimentation than traditional porcelain. She has managed to once more connect with her painting practice in how she uses stains, oxides and glazes to decorate and embellish the surface of her creations.
