Crafts Review
Sally Louw Ceramics
By: Michele Beatham

Sally works with clay because of the connection it gives her to the earth. She can feel the thrill of creating something out of earth when she crafts exquisite and fine ceramic bowls and platters. Sally loves experimenting with textures and colours achieving some astonishing results. The combination of rich reds, pewter and textured patterns are what makes Sally’s pieces so instantly recognisable. The highly polished surface of the glaze combines dramatically with the naturally porous texture of the clay. Her organic shapes draw reference from the sea and other natural forms of inspiration. Her work is collected by her loyal clientele from all over the world.
