Kristin Burgham — 'Classic Urn' in French Blue, Sculptural Vessel

This curvaceous urn is stunning on its own or with other objects. It can be used to hold many things from beauty utencils to a bunch of flowers. Due to its construction the urn is not water tight but it is possible to place a water tight container inside. It can be washed in warm water. It makes a stunning gift.

Kristin Burgham is a Melbourne based ceramicist working with industrial ceramic production processes and found objects. She works with discarded objects to explore and build on the narrative of both the abandoned object and evidence of its maker. Her hand-built porcelain objects result in assemblages imbued with colour, scale and memory. Her works acknowledge and reflect on industry and its social history.

Burgham has studied ceramics in Australia and Hong Kong and her work has been acquired by Shepparton Art Museum for their public collection and is also in private collections. She completed a BFA at RMIT in 2019 and won the RMIT Ceramics Association judges choice award in 2019.
