DAWN SHARKEY

My practice is around people and their stories, be this in the form of the decoration on a vessel, or in the context of public engagement.

Recent highlights (pictured) include "The Big Decision," an interactive event at commissioned by LVAF for Leeds Light Night 2008. An Artists Newsletter New Collaborations Award to experiment with overlaps in paper and clay. Award of the City Purchase Prize at Kappfenberg Biennial 2005. Also recent consultations around various new play schemes.

I am a visual artist with training in ceramics and textiles, and experience experimental learning in a wide variety of fields. As well as my solo practice I currently work in collaboration, and on a wide variety of commissioned projects to help people engage with and through their creativity.
