Stephanie Ball is an artist based in Rutland & Leciester, UK. Ball is preoccupied with typical sculptural concerns of form, material properties and spacial engagement. She works between traditional materials, such as ceramic and plaster, found objects and highly site-specific installations.

Her practice celebrates the joy of making, of drawing, of exploring and of criticality whilst questioning the status or value of objects and the display and positioning of sculpture.

She holds an MA in Contemporary Art Practice (2026) from De Montfort University, Leicester and a BA in Fine Art from Slade School of Fine Art, UCL (2008).
