CERAMICS GALLERY

My other passion is ceramics.  The more textured the better!  I make large pieces in stoneware, porcelain, red earthenware and gritty crank clay which I stretch, pull, stamp and then decorate with coloured oxides, slips, and sometimes glass.  Oh, and I never have a smooth edge - preferring instead to rip the edges and corners to give a more organic, earthy feel.

 

Landscapes and the beautiful textures of earth, rocks and plants are my inspiration.  I never tire of the patterns and colours we find in nature, and I try to replicate these in my ceramic work.
