Linzi West

Drawing is what Linzi holds closest to her heart and her sketch books are filled with nature, animals and the human form and surroundings from travels, especially train journeys from all over the world.

Recently Linzi has been exploring ceramics, preferring to hand build vessels, plates and platters as well as whimsical one off pieces that she feels inspired to make.

Linzi likes to use the clays surface - earthenware with a painted slip - as she would a page in a sketchbook, drawing a design often with sgraffito or cobalt painted blue lines from an image in her sketchbook: colourful moments seen on her travels.
