Lucy Goodwin Designs is all about individuality, style and the ability create a unique piece of art using traditional skills, incorporating both hand and machine.
Lucy graduated from Staffordshire University in July 2009 with a First Class Honours Degree in
Surface Pattern Design.
She is inspired by the ever changing trends in fashion and lifestyle, alongside artists and designers both past
and present to create designs with and original
and unique twist.Lucy’s ceramic work is inspired by dramatic sky lines concentrating on silhouettes of influential buildings and landmarks. Lucy is also inspired by the Art Deco era as shown in her use of geometric shapes and graphical linear drawing.
She creates her designs by creating hand drawn sketches of the design/subject, to make sure the scale, layout and detail of the design will work. Lucy will then produce a plastic stencil of the design to spray the glaze through onto the ceramics, to create the outline of the design e.g. a hazy city skyline. After the piece has been fired in the kiln, Lucy will use a variety of ceramic pens to draw free hand onto the top of the ceramics to add more precise detail which adds to the sophistication of the piece.
Lucy also uses the same process to create designs based around a vast range of subject matters and themes such as; animals, insects, florals, lace and even atmospheric sea side scenes.
Each piece is as unique as the next and can it can take up to four days to produce the final finished decorated piece.
Hand Made in England
All of Lucy’s products are designed and hand made from her studio in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.
The ceramics are individually crafted with clay by using slip moulding techniques developed in the potteries centuries ago. After the making process each piece is carefully shaped and smoothed by hand to achieve its final finished shape before being kiln fired up to 1100 degrees.
Glaze and decoration is then applied and each piece again kiln fired up to temperatures of 1060 degrees centigrade.
