Kerry Hastings

With both of her parents being artists, Kerry’s childhood was surrounded by paintings, sculpture, and architecture. They had a potter friend and spent quiet hours in her studio. She went on to gain a BA Hons Ceramics at University of Westminster.

Kerry is inspired by the making process itself, using clay as a way of exploring her relationship to the world as a maker.  She seeks creative strategies analogous to those found in nature such as growth, metamorphosis, and fragmentation.
