Karen James

Karen James is a ceramic sculptor originally from Texas. After moving to Glasgow she studied Pottery & Ceramics at Glasgow Clyde College.

Her main body of work are her ‘Fleshpots’: Rubenesque female ceramic sculptures which she imbues with warmth and a touch of humour. She employs a range of hand building techniques using several types of clay.  The figure is finished with a wax burnish and then married with driftwood to create the finished piece.

She exhibits her work in several Scottish galleries.
