Kirsty Collins is a contemporary artist and craftsperson completing the Advanced Diploma in ceramics and has been developing a new body of work to be exhibited at Hazlehurst Gallery in 2021. She makes large hand-built ceramics sculptures and limited editions of slip cast ikebana vases and she also enjoys throwing and hand carving tea bowls. She recently installed a Skutt kiln and makes her own slips, terra-sigillata’s and glazes. Her sculpture explores the embodiment of fantastical cloud and smoke landscapes in clay. Coming from a contemporary art and design background she is interested in the connection between art, design and craft thinking. She has been given a highly commended award at Rookwood Sculpture Prize and was a finalist in the Melbourne Laneway prize. She is also a deaf artist learning Auslan.

There will also be a small range of ceramics, functional and sculptural, work for sale. You can find more information at www.ceramicly.com.au
