Taking part inn Potfest in the Pens – Penrith (Spring)

Inspired by a love of Western Celtic shorelines and the sea, I hand built ceramic vessels. Shapes are figurative featuring a vivid turquoise glaze that reflects the influence of the sea and landscape; or tactile, washed pebble and seashell forms.

The pieces are fired to stoneware temperature using a variety of textured clays from a dark red, toasted buff to a white firing clay, all of which react in various ways altering the depth of colour in the glaze. The application of slips, sgraffito and resist techniques add a further depth to the surfaces.
