Wheel Thrown

A pottery technique where clay is shaped into forms on a rotating potter's wheel, allowing for symmetrical and rounded shapes, often used for creating bowls, vases, and other vessels.

Carved

Removing clay to create decoration or shape in the clay body, often using tools to incise or sculpt the clay, adding depth and dimension to the work.

Fully functional

This vessel has been glazed and fired to allow it to be used in domestic and commercial settings. It's waterproof and dishwasher safe.

Underglaze

The application of colored decoration to the surface of a piece before it is glazed, allowing for detailed and intricate designs that are sealed and protected by a clear or translucent glaze.

Dipped glaze

These functional glazes provide smooth, even coatings, providing a consistent and professional finish. This technique ensures a flawless, glossy surface that enhances the beauty of the ceramics and can make the piece fully functional.

Lustre

A metallic glaze that gives ceramics a shiny, reflective surface, applied over a fired glaze and then fired again at a lower temperature to fuse the lustre to the surface.

Illustrated line & colour

A ceramic art technique that uses the clay surface as canvas to be illustrated with line and colour techniques. These methods allow for detailed, vibrant designs that make each piece a true work of art.

Thrown and Altered Vessel

This unique ceramic piece features a thrown vessel that has been intentionally altered, creating an intriguing interplay between form and function. The artist's skillful manipulation of the clay while on the wheel, followed by deliberate modifications, results in a striking and unconventional work that challenges traditional notions of ceramic vessels.
