ARTIST'S STATEMENT

height 95cm diameter 90cm

I like the potter's wheel, where a ball of clay can be quickly transformed into an rustic form, that pleases my eye.Each pot is individual that I make, decorating the pot is a lengthy process.

I draw inspiration from nature such as flowers. I use coloured slips,brush on glazes which are hand painted on to the surface of the pot when biscut fired I use brush on glazes.I use a majolica glaze over the top. 

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The clays I use  are white earthenware , red terracotta. I biscut  fire to about 1000 degrees in a

electric kiln and up to 1040 gloss.
