about the artist

Sarah Hillman

Sarah works at her home studio on the edge of the South Downs in Sussex. Sarah has been working in ceramics since 1994. Instantly hooked by the freedom of the material, she went on to complete her Masters from the Centre for Ceramic Studies in Cardiff in 2004. During her time as a resident maker at Cockpit Art Studios, Sarah exhibited at The Royal Academy of Arts as part of the Modern British Sculpture Exhibition. Sarah creates stunning ceramic forms that combine bold contemporary colour and striking sculptural design. Pure white clay forms are individually hand cut with sweeping curves revealing a vibrant interior. The uniquely hand mixed interior colour is specifically designed as a non-reflective surface, creating a bold contrast to the natural clay exterior. These innovative forms explore positive and negative space through changing compositions of line, colour, and contour.
