My work incorporates both sculptural and functional forms. This includes figurative work, garden pots, vases and recent Venetian and Cornwall inspired three dimensional pieces.

All my work derives from my love of drawing. No two pieces are identical as all my work is hand built.

I combine making with teaching children and adults of all ages and abilities, in a wide variety of places. This includes Schools, Day/Family Centres, Sunningwell Art School and as Artist in Residence throughout the county. I am a full member of the Oxfordshire Craft Guild, West Ox Arts and an Associate of the Craft Potters Association.

I am very proud to be entering my 22nd year of business as a sculptor, with my own work style, which is unique and distinctive as a Sally Dunham creation. Over this time I have been privileged to work with a range of fantastic galleries and private customers.

My passion for creating is as strong as ever and I still get excited each time I pick up the clay to create something new, whether it be for a new idea I have had or to realise a bespoke design for a customer. I hope that my work brings the viewer as much enjoyment to see and own as it does to create! My main constraint is finding time to produce all the ideas I have as I am continuously inspired by the world around me, things I see and people I meet!

My love for art started much longer than 22 years ago, right from a young child I would spend hours creating models from fimo and fabric. My first real introduction to clay came when I started Sixth Form College in Cambridge and was given a choice of media in which to specialise. As soon as I touched clay I was hooked. I remember carving into a block of clay to create my first figure, and my wonderful teacher, Neil, saying to me, “Remember, the figure is in there, you just have to discover it”. This has always stayed with me. When I started my Degree course at the University of Wolverhampton, I spent two years experimenting with a range of techniques. Towards the end of my second year and the duration of my third year, my current style began to evolve and continues to develop to this day.

Stunning Original Wildlife Sculptures

Amazing hand crafted individual ceramic sculptures of British wildlife by Felicity Lloyd Coombes.

All of the ceramics that are made are created using a unique (and secret!) technique that has been developed by Felicity.  The method she uses involves first sculpting in wire and then moulding clay around the wire. The clay is then worked and manipulated into the form of the animal before being fired, sometimes a number of times, before the ceramic reaches her exacting standards. 

Once the animal ceramic has been completed, she will finish it with either a stain or it can be painted.

These sculptures are only available in the gallery and are not shown for sale online,
