Annabel Talbot

Bowl-shaped silhouettes in different sizes form the basis of Annabel’s Ceramic work. These 3-dimensional Ceramic canvases made in Stoneware and Porcelain depict abstract landscapes of Earth and Sky. Glaze is applied in the same considered way a painter would use paint, understanding and experimenting with the colours that can move and change considerably during the high-temperature firing.

Annabel lives and works in Northumberland.
