Paula Armstrong/ Shadows & Monsters

Paula Armstrong is a British ceramic sculptor and educator based in Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire. With over 25 years' experience in hand-built clay, she creates one-of-a-kind sculptural works that bridge fine art and contemporary craft. Inspired by natural and microscopic structures, her practice explores surface, interior space, and the relationship between fragility, resilience and transformation. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including the Florence Biennale and Spazio SV, Venice (both 2025), and she won the London Invitational (2025). Alongside her studio practice, Armstrong teaches workshops and mentors makers, championing creativity through inclusive, process-led practice.
