Julienne Lewis — 'Found Series, Sculptural Serving Set' 2024
$1,850
This one -of-a-kind set, crafted from the earth conveys a timeless, fossil-like quality, giving the impression of having been discovered rather than created. It is intended to become a family heirloom but is fully functional and will bring a sense of occasion and ceremony to all your entertaining. This food-safe piece is hand built using a groggy clay and layers of different slips applied in between multiple firings to achieve an aged textured and intricate surface. It has five graded bowls which can be used in numerous ways to suit the occasion. The set will elevate offerings such as scones with various toppings or Asian delicacies with sauces to a banquet level.

Julienne Lewis is a ceramic artist whose work has a timeless, fossil-like quality, giving the impression of having been found rather than created. Her art responds powerfully to human experience, aiming to elicit an emotional reaction from the viewer. The hand-built sculptural vessels she creates are surprisingly light, embodying both fragility and strength. Through carving, layered slips and multiple firings, she explores the link between culture and landscape which deeply influences her approach to colour, form and texture. Refining her artistic expression over decades, eventually culminated in formal, life-changing ceramics training at SOCA.
