About

Helen Sharp’s work is rooted in a lifelong love of clay—an art form that feels at once timeless and deeply human.

Her inspiration comes from the natural world, from the beauty and utility of everyday objects, and from the textures, colors, and forms she has encountered while living in Asia, South America, and traveling widely. Motherhood has added another layer to her practice, shaping the way she sees the world and deepening her connection to the rhythms of daily life. This perspective surfaces in her work as both tenderness and strength—objects that hold space, nurture, and invite presence.

Working with both mid-fire and high-fire clays, Sharp combines wheel throwing, large coils, and slabs to create forms that range from intimate objects to large-scale sculptural works. Each piece is shaped by its own process, making it truly one of a kind.

Her current work scales toward the intersection of craft and design—large centerpiece bowls, glowing lamps, and ceramic tables that function as both everyday objects and sculptural focal points. These are pieces made to be lived with: objects that transform spaces, bring the outside world in, and connect people back to the grounding, elemental presence of clay.
