Stephanie’s ceramic work is bold, textural, architectural, and always sculptural. She playfully manipulates negative space in and around each piece, making forms that are abstract and jaunty while at the same time monumental. Texture is vital and is achieved by leaving the fired clay in its natural state or with her meticulously developed, signature sandy glaze. The forms, strong colours and surface texture interact harmoniously. 

 

Her life of creativity was encouraged and inspired by both of her extraordinary grandmothers, one a craftswoman and the other a nature conservationist. Blissful childhood days were spent drawing, painting, exploring the bush or observing the wondrous inhabitants of rock pools. Seedpods, plants and animal horns are some of her many muses and their forms are often suggested in Stephanie’s work.

 

Fans of Stephanie’s work can be found at home and abroad and include Zoe Foster Blake and Hamish Blake. Jacquemus purchased several of her pieces at Paris Design week in 2019 for his restaurant, 'Oursin'.
