I am a ceramist born in Colombia. I have lived and travelled in many counties round the world and it is the variety of cultures and art that has inspire me to work in ceramics. I have spent the last 12 years learning and exploring ceramic techniques and now I’m dedicated to create and exhibit my ceramic work.

I'm part of East Finchley Open Artist and have been exhibiting with them for the last 2 years. I recently joined London Potters and the Barnet Collection. I have exhibited at the Parallax at Chelsea Town Hall, Art & Artefact, Made in East Finchley, Breaking Boundaries among others and have participated in many art fairs in the past years.

Recently I've been teaching ceramics to small groups of adults and youngsters in my studio. (Details at www. claudialuque.com/studio)

I love working with clay as it allows me open exploration. I enjoy experimenting and combining various materials and I’m always trying new techniques, glazes and firing methods. I have an open way of thinking which comes from being in contact to multiple cultures both by living in London and also for my extensive travelling.

I use a variety of techniques including hand building, throwing and slip casting and I also use different firing techniques being Raku the one I enjoy the most.
