My shop will be closed from 15th December until 26th December 2024. Wishing you all a peaceful and relaxing Christmas.
Due to updated UK government and EU regulations I am not able lo accept orders from Northern Ireland or to ship there. Apologies to those in that part of the UK.
The collection is the result of a long period of experimentation with black stoneware clay. My aim is to create pieces that reflect the inherent qualities of the clay itself, and to form and decorate using the minimum of tools, so that the finished piece can reflect the material and the maker.
I use just my hands to shape each piece from a flattened sheet of clay, then apply slip (liquid clay) decorative designs with a natural sponge. The motifs are influenced by textile designs and artwork from the early to mid 20th century, while the forms have echoes of Cycladic and Minoan votive pottery.
While there are recurring shapes, motifs and colours in my work, each piece is entirely unique in its form and decoration. The work is fired to 1185 degrees Celsius in an electric kiln over a period of 12 hours. Pieces bear my maker’s mark of a swallow impressed into the base.

Full description
Eugene stands around 18 cms tall and has a glazed interior to hold flowers fresh or dried, dry twigs or grasses, but looks just as handsome as a standalone piece of sculptural ceramic or as part of a group from the collection - as in one of the images here. The striped motif extends right around and is inspired by textile designs from the 1950s. I create the patterning using a small natural sponge dipped in ceramic slip - the pastel shades contrast well with the black clay. I then use a sgraffito technique to make further carved patterns in the colour surface. On the base is my potter's mark of a swallow in flight.
