Contemporary, Functional Ceramic Art Collection
Lesley McInally completed her Bachelor of Design Honors Degree in Ceramics and Printmaking at Dundee University, Scotland. For the first 8 years of her career she worked as a full time professional ceramic artist producing both functional and decorative ceramics for galleries throughout the UK. Additionally she taught ceramics in various educational environments both to adults and children. In 2004 she immigrated to Canada where she continued her studio practice in Cookstown, Ontario. Since arriving in Canada, Lesley developed her unique style of stretched slab hand built paperclip sculptures and vessels which contain a rich depth of surface texture. Incorporating her printmaking skills she has also developed a highly tactile surface using colored porcelain slips, underglazes and a mono print technique.
