Using a variety of clays and glazes she fires to earthenware and stoneware temperatures. Roslyn finds clay an expressive material and enjoys making individual, coiled sculptural pieces. Her work reflects her experiences in life: themes that she explores are birth, life, loss, landscape and nature. She works both two dimensionally and three dimensionally. Roslyn also enjoys running small group workshops from her studio in Jordanstown, Co.Antrim.
