Type

Ceramics

Artistic objects made from clay and fired to create pottery, vases, or decorative objects.

Features

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.
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.
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.
Illustrated: Hand-painting or drawing on the clay surface with underglazes or colored slips before the glazing process, showcasing artistic imagery or motifs.
Gold Lustre over underglaze: Features luxurious gold lustre applied over underglaze for an opulent finish. It uses real gold applied as a complex liquid salt, that is painted on and fixed in a third firing.
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.
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.
