FIND LARISSA WARREN:
Larissa is fascinated by the unusual use of media and how ceramic materials can be transformed through a process.
"I’m drawn to artworks that make emotional connections but still value beauty. I love the photographic works of Dianne Arbus and Walker Evans, the ceramic works of Pippin Drysdale and several contemporary Japanese artists."
Larissa emphasises how essential it is to make the commitment to connect with your community and skilled artisans.
"I have made important working relationships with my clay manufacturers, kiln supplier, gallery curators and other art teachers. Be willing to teach others, and new information and opportunities will come back to you."
Larissa is currently working on an Art teachers' professional development day called ART in CLAY.
