My WorkBea's inspiration for her work is drawn from natural forms and environmental issues. These are developed from drawings and then made in relevant materials. Besides ceramics, she works in wood, plastics, and also wax for bronze casting.

About Me
Bea Green studied in Belfast and at the Bath Academy of Art. Her sculptures have been exhibited in New Zealand, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, N. Ireland, Eire, England and Japan. They can be found in many private and public collections, including the Mino Ceramic Art Museum, Tajimi, Japan. She has had work published in magazines, including Ceramic Review and in Anne Lightwood's book on Paperclay.
Natural forms have always been central to her environmentally-conscious work. This website shows a cross section and evolution of that work, much of which illustrates the negative impacts humans have on other species and our planet's future. Concerned about that future, Bea has spent many years working in forestry, setting up a Native Woodland and several organic orchards.
Her recent sculptural series "No Food: No Brood!" differentiates the unique, pollution-free flight paths of various local birds from the polluting vapour trails of aircraft. Her next project will focus on the plight of sea birds around our shores that are plagued with assorted plastics!
Bea is a member of the Green Maker Initiative (GMI), a group committed to reducing their environmental impact; amongst many other ways to achieve this, Bea uses renewable energy to fire her kiln. She is also a member of the West Country Potters' Association (WPA) and Cotswold Sculptors' Association (CSA).
