Karen Thompson is a ceramicist based in Scarborough. She is making a multiple porcelain sandwich for York Curiouser.

"Multiples, humour, the surreal, curiosity – these are all areas I am drawn to and have explored within my ceramic practice. Usually confined and limited to one space, one building, one corner, never venturing further. Now an entire City becomes available... and the curious thing is, it's a perfect fit. Rest a while, here and there, consume, devour, the convenient and cheap transformed into something of prestige. Ancient associations coming together with a contemporary twist."
