About
Next up in our series of art talks, we will be joined by Sasha Wardell and Helen Wilks.
Sasha has over 40 year's experience in the world of bone china and porcelain, having studied in two centres of excellence; Stoke on Trent, United Kingdom and Limoges, France. She has taken elements of this industry and adapted them to a studio environment. Sasha has concentrated on perfecting the craft-based skills which enhance the inherent qualities of bone china and her carefully produced distinctive work embraces and reflects contemporary taste and lifestyle.
Helen Wilks was a student at the Bath Academy of Art, Corsham. She is a narrative painter, probably best known for three cycles of works: Childhood Fragments, Punch & Judy and The Inhabited Space. Additionally, she has made very many works based on theatre performance and collaborations. Autobiographical themes, often reoccur in her work.
