Having completed her MA in Ceramics and Glass at the Royal College of Art, London in 2011, she has a particular interest in and experience of working with glaze and colour. Seeing colour and glaze as an integral and significant element in its own right, Helen believes there is immense value in taking the time to explore and experiment with glaze, instead of it being simply an afterthought at the end of the making process.
