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 works result in assemblages imbued with colour, scale and memory. Her works acknowledge and reflect on industry and its social history.

Burgham studied Fine Arts at RMIT and graduated in 2019. She has exhibited Internationally including during Milan Design Week in 2024. Her works are held in the public collections of National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of Ballarat, Shepparton Art Museum and Yarrila Arts and Museum.
