Blandine AndersonBlandine Anderson (b.1963) graduated with a degree in Fine Art from Exeter College of Art and Design and now lives and works in Devon. Her sculptures and paintings are inspired by her love of nature and a keen interest in cultural history and folklore. Blandine’s unique ceramics are hand-built in stoneware or porcelain clays and then painted with slips, oxides and enamel colours to create rich textural patterns in a range of warm colours. Her monochrome pieces are carved in porcelain and dipped in white glaze to achieve a smooth surface and whilst they may appear simple they are in fact difficult to make.
