Having developed a love for shaping clay by hand, Sherelyn's work is experimental, playful and occasionally accidental. What energises her are pieces with tactile qualities, functionality and most importantly bring joy when viewed and used.
Sherelyn completed her Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts (Ceramics) in 2024. Alongside her own creative practice, she’s passionate about sharing her love for pottery through teaching.
