 ==Career==
 ===Work===
+In 1979 Radstone established her first studio at 401½ Workshops in South London,<ref>Yates-Owen, Eric; Fournier, Robert. ''British Studio Potters' Marks''. London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2016. {{isbn|978-1-4081-9036-4}}</ref> receiving a grant from the Crafts Council, followed by an award from the Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Trust, who also supported the establishment of Arlingford Studios in [[Brixton]], [[South London]] in 1985. She also received awards from Greater London Arts, the Oppenheim-John Downes Memorial Trust and won the Unilever Prize in 1988. In 1993 she was a recipient of the inaugural Arts Foundation Fellowship. Radstone was a contributor to the conference, ''Culture and the Unconscious'' at SOAS, London, and she was a participant at the [[St George's House (Windsor Castle)|St. George's House, Windsor Castle]], consultation, ''The Value of Culture and the Crisis of Judgement''. In 2020 she delivered the annual Henry Hammond Memorial Lecture.<ref name="CSC"/>
-Described by collector Anthony Shaw as a ''"unique and authentic voice"'', Radstone's work has always pushed against the perceived boundaries of ceramic sculpture. She comes from "...a generation of artists using clay to open up forms of expression rather than the enclosed and centred object". Her distinctive handbuilt structures explore ideas concerned with memory, history and human traces, loss and absence, and attempt to forge a material language to express these themes. Recent work also incorporates paper, paint, cloth and found ephemera, embracing ideas concerning frailty, fragmentation and suppression.
