Laurance Simon’s early life in France and her travels in East Africa and India contribute to a wealth of cross-cultural references in her work.
The shape of her vessels can suggest Greek Urns or French Bonbonnieres, brought to life with adornments of shells, glass mosaic and zoomorphic figures; amorous doves, kindly hares, or acrobatic dogs.
Her pieces are hand built from red earthenware, then coloured with subtly painted and sponged slips and matt glazes, which contrast with areas of exposed red clay.
Laurance has exhibited widely in Britain and Europe.
