Welcome to the online gallery of
Mandy Long - ceramic sculptor.
All sculptures are hand crafted, predominantly using clay and glass with the ceramic figures being raku and smoke fired.
Her sculptures were initially inspired by football, the raw energy and passion the players have for ‘the beautiful game’, their phenomenal balance and the unrehearsed grace of their movement. More recently turning to rugby and contemporary dance for inspiration as movement and excitement are key to both.
