VIVIENNE FOLEY makes hand thrown, classical and abstract porcelain's. Her works are renowned for their clean lines and disciplined shapes. These collector's pieces with their sculptural curves, accentuated by black or ivory glazes give a dramatic accent to any contemporary space.

The basis of her technique is classical wheel throwing and turning. She works clay with engineering precision, joining thinly made sections to attain height. It is most unusual to find these construction methods used with porcelain because of it’s high shrinkage and lack of plasticity. Foley’s work is unique because she incorporates these techniques and yet retains the finest qualities of the material.

Based in central London, her profile is international. Aficionados include Heads of State and private patrons. Her work is in the White House, the royal household Sweden and the National Museum of Ireland, as well as embassies, hotels and corporate headquarters.

Vivienne Foley has worked with leading Interior Designers. In the 1970's with David Hicks, and more recently with Fox Linton Associates and David Collins.

For collectors, placing 'complimentary but different' works together, forming groups with two or more pieces, expresses a classical yet very contemporary look.

VIVIENNE FOLEY is represented abroad by James Graham & Sons,New York and fivesensesart.com in San Francisco. She also works directly with architects, designers and private clients.
