Allison Murphy is based in Carlisle, North West
I am a ceramic and textile artist based in Cumbria. I have a strong interest in the combination of materials and techniques to create a range of outcomes including large scale sculpture, 2D relief work and jewellery. My work is developed through a range of drawings and samples that combine unusual materials, cultures and worlds.
