Ceramics is a relatively new venture for me, but one which I find fascinating and absorbing.
My forms are all based on the natural world, especially the amazing shapes of seeds and microscopic plants and animals.
The first four images show some of the results of my recent 'Smoke Firing', which produces amazing and unexpected colours and patterns. See my Blog page to find out how I did it.
This was taken from a sketch I made in one of my life drawing classes. The model is asleep. She is 290cm from head to toe.
Two small thumb pots.
This little piece measures just 6cm end to end. The design is based on plant forms.
This piece measures 6cm on it's longest axis, with added wooden 'spines'. The design is inspired by underwater creatures.
This thumb pot measures just over 9cm in height, decorated with a green crystalline glaze.
This thumb pot rests at an angle. Decorated with a dark blue crystalline glaze, giving flares of red and green.
