We love these wonderful ceramic buttons from Karen Turner. Here’s a few words about Karen…

“My work primarily focuses on the non functional vessel. Individual, one off pieces explore forms such as teapots, plates, and cutlery as well as small dishes and bowls. These everyday objects make reference to both function and decoration; however, I am particularly interested in what a piece becomes when the function is removed. My work combines personal expression with a social consciousness and I often use found objects as visual inspiration for my work, sometimes incorporating elements of them into the finished pieces. I use a variety of techniques in my ceramics including slip casting, press moulding and hand building but I am particularly drawn to the fragile quality that can be created by dipping various fabrics into liquid porcelain; once fired, the fabric burns away leaving a ghostly presence.”
