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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
