Ceramics

Recent ceramics continue to indulge a love of pattern through richly hand-decorated slipware. In addition to the painted work, this year I’ve also focused attention on developing inlaid eathenware pieces, in which relief pattern is impressed into clay and inlaid with liquid clay, before being turned into plates and pots. And for a lovely antidote to all that close concentration, I have also begun to explore the fiery, smoke-filled world of Raku ceramics…
