Kerry Roffe Curriculum Vitae

With a background as a senior Civil Servant and founder of an eco-conscious refill store, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to my practice as a glass and ceramics artist. Now specialising in figurative sculpture, I am currently completing a degree in Glass and Ceramics, driven by a lifelong connection to clay and a deep interest in the human form as a vessel for storytelling. My work explores themes of identity, memory, and social narrative through both traditional and experimental approaches to material and form.
