Using hammers and forming stakes she raises her sculptural forms from flat sheet, moulding and shaping intuitively, creating distinct, highly textured and patinated pieces of work.Judith Annakie-Eriksen fell in love with ceramics in the 1990s and became a full time working artist, following her retirement from a successful communications and PR career in 2019. Her finished work can be categorised as functional art in the form of upmarket tableware. Her aesthetic is influenced by the organic and simple forms found in Scandinavian design, the repetitive patterns applied to African textiles and modern jewellery design.The approximate running times are as follows: <ul><li>12.30 Judith Annakie-Eriksen (45 mins)</li><li>1.45 Adaesi Ukairo (45 mins)</li><li>2.45 Q&amp;A (30 mins)</li></ul>The demo sessions and Q&amp;A talks are free to attend.
