Emma Black’s sculptural florals, a practice born from personal loss and transformed into a uniquely expressive craft.  Her journey began with a single clay flower made in memory of a dear friend.  That moment unlocked a deep, intuitive talent for shaping polymer clay into intricate blooms.

Over time, Emma developed her own secret process for creating large-scale flowers, each piece embodying space, texture and height.  No one else is working at this scale in polymer, and the results are strikingly sculptural.  Alongside these bold works, she also creates smaller blooms used in arrangements or embedded into objects.

Each flower is more than a visual, it carries dual meaning.  A fallen petal beneath each piece speaks to loss and the inevitability of falling, while the flower itself reflects the fragile beauty of life.  Emma’s ongoing exploration of materials, scale and symbolism is what keeps this practice evolving, fusing the emotional and the tactile in every creation.
