Fernanda Cortes is a Mexican artist known for her sculptural works. As a sculptor of anthropomorphic medium-sized ceramic figures and the writer of their stories, her themes explore human moral dilemmas. She creates characters that traverse psychological states and navigate overwhelming emotional density, questioning the dehumanisation inherent in the human condition—a sort of contemporary mythology. She explores how narratives shape mental imagery, and the skill required to transform them into sculptures enriches her storytelling. Fernanda Cortes pursued further education at the Royal College of Art in London and is now based in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. Balancing her own artistic pursuits with teaching responsibilities, she actively contributes to the ceramics’ community.
In this workshop, Fernanda will teach you her techniques.
