Violent porcelain
- • Lucille works with porcelain, glass and metal
- • Her work is powerful and thought provoking
- • Nature and grand landscapes inspire her
Lucille Lewin started her journey as an artisan at an evening class in ceramics, going on to study glass and ceramics at the Royal College of Art. Since then, she has exhibited in prominent venues across the UK, most notably at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Lucille combines porcelain, metal and glass to create work that speaks of the human experience, especially in relation to the natural world and the chaos that we have created. Her work, though crafted with traditional materials is conceptual, symbolic and abstract. The beauty of the material that she uses is contrasted with the violence of her techniques, each piece being broken, pulled and forced together over time. Her creative process reflects the act of living in a world at the tipping point.

This pair of ceramic sculptures is made of multiple components. The transparent glaze adds a shiny finish while amplifying the whiteness of the fired porcelain. As well as thin ceramic strands, the piece is interlaced with ceramic pea pods.
