Sara Roberts Ceramics

Sara Roberts (b.1962, Cork) is a ceramicist living and working from her studio, near Kinsale, Co Cork, Ireland

Roberts studied Graphic Design at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, from 1980-84 and

graduated with a degree in Visual Communications. She worked in London, Australia and Ireland as a

designer until 2000.

During 2000-2002 she undertook a City and Guilds one year course in Ceramics and was subsequently

awarded a bursary at Colaiste Stiofain Naofa, Cork, Ireland.

She consequently set up her own studio and has been working in clay since and frequently exhibiting in

group shows often associated with The Society of Cork Potters or Cork Craft and Design, both of which

she is an active member. She also takes private commissions and sells her pieces through craft galleries

and annually at Gifted Craft and Design Fair, Dublin

Roberts' medium of choice is porcelain and she works with very thin slabs, on which she builds up the

natural scene, using plenty of texture, while referencing her photographs. Patterns, textures, colours and

movement in the sea and shoreline are her main source of inspiration. Her work often depicts expanses of

sand, sea and sky, with distant horizons and detailed foregrounds, creating a three-dimensional effect, a sense of calm isolation- drawing the viewer deep into the imagery and beyond...
