About The Artwork
I was fortunate to learn to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia where I immediately fell in love with this beautiful, underwater world. Extremes in weather threaten the jeweled belt of coral reefs that wrap around the earth. Also known as the rainforests of the sea, they are the beating heart of the ocean. I hope the viewers are drawn into this artwork to take a closer look at the delicate detail and feel a sense of calm. Each coral is hand made using paper porcelain clay that I made, it is then fired, hand glazed and then some of the pieces are fired a third time with 22K gold, which twinkles in the dusk and dawn. Other pieces have been edged with gold enamel paint before be arranged on a framed wooden board. To see more of my work please visit my website https://www.nicolacornfordceramics.com and follow me on instagram @nicola.cornford_ceramics A portion of the proceeds will go to the Coral Restoration Foundation in Key Largo, Florida.

United States
I started on this love affair with clay when I was fifteen years old at school in Brighton, England, but the passion was not rekindled until I moved to Virginia Beach in the USA, over 10 years ago. Here, I found a community of artists when I took ceramic classes at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and created art to hang on the walls of my new home. I was fortunate to have a dedicated and passionate instructor, and attend a workshop with Courtney Mattison, when she exhibited her large coral installations at MOCA in 2016. I remained at MOCA until March 2020 when the ceramics classes ceased due to Covid 19. Since then, I have attended numerous virtual ceramic workshops and conferences taught by world-famous ceramic artist, gaining valuable knowledge, techniques and inspiration. This has helped me to learn and grow as an artist. I have carved out a corner in my garage and continue to create with clay and at the end of November 2020, my kiln arrived, and the adventure of experimentation, exploration, pushing the boundaries really started.
