Clare Gage
Ceramicist/Textiles
http://www.claregage.com/
Alumni of Cumbria University - Studied BA Hons Contemporary Applied Arts
Specialised in the construction of textiles and ceramics.
In the third year, Clare was given the brief 'transfer of techniques and material qualities from your own field into that of ceramics'. From here she decided to make the products from textiles (eg knit, weave etc.), use a plaster mould to capture the texture and form of the textiles and then use clay around the mould to create a piece or ceramic with the same texture.
Clare encouraged all of us to visit as many fairs and festivals as possible that are relevant to our discipline. These will help to develop our awareness of what is going on in the industry. This will also show us what else is going on and open our eyes to more that can inspire us in our own work.
