Small Water Birds

Linda Warrick

Linda graduated (B.Ed) from Kingston upon Hull College of Education in 1971 and has taught ceramics to adults and children of all ages. She also had the opportunity of working with artist-potter Don Morgan in the late 80s/early 90s - an invaluable experience.

For the past 15 years, she has developed her work in porcelain, hand building semi-abstract birds. Each piece is burnished before firing, then smoked in sawdust. Linda uses sawdust from a variety of woods, the reason being each type gives a slightly different coloration to the porcelain. This results in the visual uniqueness of each piece, along with an irresistible tactile appeal.

Important inspiration is drawn from constant observation of form, a `way of seeing` both the large and the minute, combined with watching birds themselves, preferably at close range. Recent visits to the
gannet colony to the Bass Rock, Scotland and the Farne Islands, off the Northumberland coast, have provided a wealth of new material.

Linda`s ceramic birds are characterized by their elegance and purity of form, and are held in private collections in Europe, North America and elsewhere. Linda's work is sold in various galleries around the UK, however the Pinkfoot Gallery holds a permanent collection of Linda's work. We can send out Linda's work through the post, for more details, contact the gallery.
