About
Sasha Wardell was born in Sri Lanka in 1956 and has over 40 years experience in the world of bone china and porcelain having studied in two centres of excellence , namely Stoke on Trent ( UK) and Limoges (France).
“Both experiences have strongly influenced the way in which I currently work resulting in a fascination and intrigue for methods and materials which present a challenge.
It is for this reason that, bone china with all its idiosyncrasies, and slip casting with the precision it offers, have remained my favourite materials and working methods. I have concentrated on perfecting the craft-based skills which enhance the inherent translucent qualities of bone china by using a variety of decorating techniques , namely multi-layering and slicing, incising and water erosion.”
She presently runs bone china and mould making courses in the UK in Wiltshire as well as continuing her own practice.
