Ceramics

2014 - 2019

Claire Loon Baldwin’s ceramic works, created between 2014 and 2019, feature hand-built techniques and hand-painted illustrations. The designs incorporate sculptural and hand-painted elements of fungi, flora, and hand-lettering. Each piece is shaped by the chemical reactions of clay and heat, resulting in a unique fusion of art and nature. These ceramics were sold at craft markets and through online stores.
