Alice Walton
Ceramics
Alice Walton works with coloured clay, aiming to highlight the meditative process of the material, and her sculptural and abstract forms explore complex and intense surface textures. Her work is about a consideration of the everyday and taking the time to notice the unseen things in our environment. Her latest work incorporates her fascination for noticing common street objects, passed by in our everyday lives. She investigates how they can transcend into unusual and extraordinary objects, which form a new abstract landscape.
Alice Walton (b.1987), graduated in 2018 with a Masters in Ceramics from the Royal College of Art. She has exhibited across Europe including artist in residence during the European Ceramic Context in Denmark and graduate resident at the V&A Museum. In 2017 she was awarded the Sir Eduardo Paolozzi Travel Scholarship and in 2018 the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust. Last year she was awarded the ‘Fresh’ Wedgewood prize at the British Ceramics Biennale which will result in a residency later in 2020. She has taught ceramics to various age groups for the British Crafts Council, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art.
