About this maker
Michelle studied Ceramics at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 1994. The course focused strongly on sculptural ceramics and encouraged a fine art approach to creativity. Students benefited from a wide range of visiting artists, and Michelle was fortunate to have Magdalene Odundo as an external assessor, who inspired a dynamic and fearless approach to the materiality of clay. It was the hands-on nature of the material, and the opportunity to learn a craft, that first drew Michelle to ceramics. Since then, she has continually sought to explore its boundaries, expanding her knowledge and skills through daily practice.
