Karen Lainson

Ceramics

Karen has been working with clay for nearly thirty years and lives in North Lancashire.

She is entirely self-taught and started selling her work in the nineteen eighties at her local craft fair but now sells mainly through galleries and exhibitions.

Her current work is mainly inspired by the animals she has lived with ….and spent many years observing from afar.

Each piece is individually made using her own mix of clay, building the work up with thin layers of stoneware and finally fired to 1260 degrees Celsius using metal oxides for the finished “glaze”
