About The Artist
Christine Cummings
31.01.69 - 21.05.23
Christine began making animals whilst studying ceramics at Lancashire Polytechnic, which to begin with was purely pig studies, spending a lot of time at agricultural shows in the rare breeds tent.
Many years later she was still making pigs along with a whole host of other animals, source material is never far away – a cow in a field, a scathing chicken or a dog running down the street.
Sketching from life was a very big part of Christine’s work, it encouraged her study the subject at great length. The pieces are all hand crafted in earth stone clay being finished either by Raku or smoke firing.
We are deeply saddened to report the passing of Christine in May this year.
The workshop of Christina Cummings continues to operate led by her family.
