Staithes Festival Artists Beginning with H
Kit Hemsley
Kit is fascinated by clay in its multitude of colours and textures. Currently she is exploring its extremes with the delicate, flowing, semi-translucent, coloured Parian (porcelain) in stark contrast to her extremely tactile, burnished, sawdust fired pieces. The work is sometimes functional, often sculptural but always visually exciting. Her work is influenced by a childhood spent on the coast near Whitby. Now living and working in Runswick Bay. The processes Kit uses mean all her work is as individual as a fingerprint.
Venue: Ardbank, Elliot's Yard, Staithes, TS13 5BJU
