Melanie O'Donnell

Melanie’s work is largely figurative; her joyful, highly decorative pieces exploring women through time in art and culture. Working with earthenware clay, Melanie’s pieces are hand built, each one evolving in character throughout the build and decorative process. Much emphasis is on the surface decoration using under-glaze slips, Japanese rice paper transfers, on-glaze decals and gold lustre.
