Shirley Vauvelle . Quirky Sculptures
November 28, 2011
Shirley works in Scarborough and uses white earthenware and under-glazes to make components
and small sculptures concentrating on layering colour and texture.
These are then assembled together with driftwood, wire, reclaimed maps, vintage magazines and other
interesting finds from local beaches.
One-off contemporary pieces are made which are either hung or freestanding sculptures.
Her inspiration comes from her garden, her love of the coast and the fun of creating objects that are
very individual and quirky, with a tale to tell.
Lovely work, I’d like to hear more about the stories behind the pieces.

Hi Claire, yes Shirleys work is lovely isn’t it, she says her work sells from between £10 and £400 see more info here http://nyos.org.uk/Artist.aspx?id=258
These are so charming. I love the naive quality and the bleached coloring
Thanks for your thoughts Hazel. The muted colours do make them more appealing because they look like they’ve come straight from the sea.
absolutely love the artwork of shirley’s
