The dynamism of clay

Sean Gerstley is a ceramic artist working primarily with slab and coil techniques to build ceramic forms that move between sculpture and the domestic. Sean has a direct and improvisational process, with pinched surfaces and visible joins that register the movement of the hand. Vivid, often unpredictable glazes activate the surface, emphasising variation and gesture. Rather than refining towards uniformity, Sean allows irregularities to remain, treating them as integral to the work’s energy and character.

For Homo Faber 2026, Sean presents Burn All The Letters, a handbuilt sculpture that sits between function, ornament and fantasy, a work that transforms a domestic form into an expressive object. After bisque firing, the surface was finished with a varied palette of metallic glazes in saturated colours.
