Worlds Within Worlds
Ceramic sculptures by Krystyna Sargent 

A new collection inspired by the nature of creation, erosion and weathering by time and the elements. Working in her studio in Weymouth, close to the Jurassic coast in Dorset, Krystyna is inspired by the big Dorset sky and celestial bodies, the rocks and water of the coast, from the crumbling strata of rock of West Bay to the smooth water shaped pebbles of Chesil beach.

Experimenting with various clays and volcanic temperatures of the kiln, Krystyna has produced some unique strata effects where the inclusion of some processed local Jurassic clay has created a fast-forward erosion and layering, giving rise to the description "Worlds Within Worlds."  A trio of figurative sculptures completes the theme of creation, ancient beginnings, timelessness and the inevitability of erosion and transformation.

Complementing Krystyna's ceramic sculptures, her paintings, in oils and acrylics in a semi-abstract style, specialise in atmospheric skies often featuring scenes inspired by the Jurassic coast and it's varying weather patterns.
 

Visitors are welcome to the studio in Weymouth by appointment.  Classes are offered for beginners or those who want to improve technique.  Some items featured throughout this website are available for purchase, please enquire about availability.
