Individual and unique, hand made ceramics, using various stoneware clays with mixed surface decoration.
"A Volcanic glaze is like life, it is unpredictable and you never know quite what is coming next”
The work produced & shown, is a combination of smooth black or white stoneware clays with a mix of rugged & smooth glazed finishes. Many hours of testing lava glazes have enabled me to convey the textures and tactility of sand, cliffs, the sea, countryside & moorlands. The glazing has allowed me to share the narrative of the Cornish coast & landscapes, the technique with which the lava has been added in layers to give the idea of movement to the clays surface.
Nature is the inspiration behind the work, as we are surrounded by such breath taking beauty in the South West.
This work articulates a defined abstract result, I look forward to developing it further in the future alongside other work.
