Alison hand builds in both stoneware and earthenware; each piece has several layers of slips and glazes with areas left bare creating pits and surface textures which are then defined with inks. She incorporates glass eyes, blown or hand painted and often intended for taxidermy. Alison graduated from Loughborough College of Art & Design in 1994 with a 1st BA (Hons) in Fine art. She lives and works in Lincolnshire.
