Emma Lindegaard is a self-taught ceramic artist working from her shared studio space at Shacks, in Waylyup/Fremantle. Her objects are built entirely by hand – using the coiling method and minimal tools – over a number of days. This process allows for thoughtful modification of shape, texture and balance.

Emma's on-going development in abstract sculpture is born out of time spent immersed in the landscape, drawing inspiration from rock formations and natural structures. Each piece is a unique expression, often led by an exploration of negative space, organic curves and clean lines; allowing room throughout the process for spontaneity, instinct and experimentation to inform the final piece.​

Typically, minimal yet refined surface-finishing methods complete each piece– to honour the earthiness of the raw medium, and to emphasise the form. Textural glazes and slips are added to create a tactile response, connecting viewer with object; grounding them in time and place.
