Claire de Lune is a Scottish ceramic sculptor living and working in East London.
She started her multi-media art practice in Edinburgh before relocating to Glasgow, London and Berlin. Her playfulness with materials was evident from the start, and she has now created an immersive world of characters and symbols, little talismanic islands of love and hope for the viewer.
Claire recently discovered she is descended from a long line of celebrated Staffordshire potters: The Adams Family, who have been based in Staffordshire producing pottery since the 1400s. Her work is both a reflection and continuation of this historical family practice.
Through dreams and storytelling, her characters and installations reflect a playful romantic world of interaction, relationship, and human contact.
Claire has exhibited throughout the UK and Europe, including 2019 in the Turner Prize Festival (Margate), the Gallery of Modern Art (Glasgow), Mexico Project Space (Leeds), HB55 (Berlin), Fishfactory Arts (Falmouth), and SWG3 (Glasgow). She graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2012.
