Most of my pots are hand-thrown on a wheel using stoneware clay, but I also enjoy making small decorative ceramics like buttons and pendants. Some of my pieces are made using a traditional Japanese firing technique called raku which creates a beautiful crackle glaze. This lovely little ceramic brooch is handmade using stoneware clay and decorated using a subtle mottled green glaze over a geometric pattern. A simple brooch clasp is fitted on the back and my own pottery seal has been stamped on the reverse. The brooch measures about 37mm x 37mm and will make a unique gift for someone special. judeallman Fri, 02 Dec 2011 10:11:26 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2679777 http://folksy.com/items/2679777 SALE - Ceramic Brooch These ceramic napkin rings are hand built from stoneware clay and decorated with a lovely bird imprint.

Between these two glazes the pot has been left unglazed to reveal a smokey grey band created by the firing process. This small bowl measures about 8cm x 4cm and bears my own pottery seal near the base. The crackle glazes used in raku pots means they are porous and decorative only: so they should not be used for containing food or liquids. It also means each pot is totally unique and perfect as a gift or beautiful keepsake for someone special. This is a listing for one raku bowl only. judeallman Fri, 02 Dec 2011 11:06:59 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2680741 http://folksy.com/items/2680741 Raku Bowl (White and Turquoise Crackle) These lovely mugs are perfect for people who like small cups of tea or coffee. They’ve been hand-thrown on a wheel using stoneware clay and reduction fired in a gas kiln which has brought out the natural speckled fleck in the clay.

The glaze is dishwasher safe and each mug has my own unique pottery seal at the base of the handle. Please note that slight variations in glaze and decoration are a part of handmade items.

This painting has a simple, calm atmosphere and is painted with fresh colours and shades. For this painting I’ve used acrylics on a small ‘deep edge’ canvas. The canvas measures 10 inches by 10 inches (about 25cm by 25cm) and is about one and a half inches deep (about 4cm). The painting is unframed and the edge is painted using a very light grey so it can be hung on a wall without a frame for a contemporary look. This painting is an original artwork and is signed by me (Jude Allman) in the bottom left hand corner. (Please note that Jude Allman retains the copyright of the image of this painting even after purchase. Any questions please ask. Thank you!) judeallman Fri, 02 Dec 2011 14:33:06 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2686494 http://folksy.com/items/2686494 Original Acrylic Painting - Cornflower with berries
