In her central London studio, with its small courtyard garden, Lucille crafts beautiful and pure white ceramic<\/strong> treasures. Her abstract pieces<\/strong> raise harsh questions about our destructive relationship with the planet and her work also owes much to the fresh beauty found in nature: from the uncontrolled eruption of the first sprouts in spring, to an intricate bird\u2019s nest made of moss and sticks, to a fragile portion of broken coral.<\/p>\n
