Ludmilla Kosmina

Ludmilla designs and creates one-off ceramic sculptures of people, some with humorous qualities, all of which capture the observed essence of human behaviour. Her sculptures are humorous and slightly whimsical. All of her pieces are unique both in form and personality.

Ludmilla's inspiration comes from observing life around her; she only makes figures of happy people and people enjoying themselves. Each piece is hand made using earth-stone clay, glazed and fired in electric kiln up to four times.

Exhibited throughout Scotland, for more information of Ludmilla's work, please visit her website.
