In 1990 Lyn and her family moved to a small block of land near Cambridge where she has set up a studio and until recently worked fulltime as a potter.  Lyn has been a member of the Fire and Form Co-op and a partner in the Quattro Gallery. 

This exhibition has given Lyn the opportunity to take a new direction in her pottery.  Lyn is involved in the fitness industry as an instructor and sports masseuse.  She has become very aware of the human body in it many shapes and forms.  This is Lyn's focus on the male and female torso.
