Carolyn Genders

The natural world is the over-riding inspiration for Carolyn’s work: pebbles, rock strata, space, distance and landscape.

Sketchbook drawing and notes record her personal vision and direct response to the rhythm and movement, surface and pattern of landscape and natural forms.

Using these observations to release her ideas, Carolyn seeks to create pieces that are an integration of form and surface. She is intrigued by the three dimensionality of form and of how it is visually altered by the addition of surface texture or pattern; distorted or enhanced, emphasising nuance of shape, creating mood and atmosphere.

Carolyn studied at Brighton Polytechnic and Goldsmiths’ College. She is now a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association with her work being shown world-wide and in many collections including Cologne Museum and The Fine Art Society, Glasgow.
