Welcome to my Shop! Every piece here is unique, one of one.
I work with porcelain and stoneware from my small studio in London. My work is hand-built, then painted with slips and underglazes using brush strokes and splatters which are not entirely abstract. Most pieces are glazed in a transparent gloss which draws out the colours and contrast.
At present I am learning to 'raw glaze' so each piece only goes through firing once, rather than twice, thus reducing the carbon footprint! Ask me if you'd like to see this raw glazed work.
Thanks for visiting. I hope you find something you will love!
Here are some things just listed by other crafters and sellers on Folksy.
Ceramic Slipware
I have been working with porcelain and stoneware for about five years, first in a weekly porcelain class in the Inner-west of Sydney & then having crossed the globe, in Southwest London. In early 2020 my local pottery studio had to suddenly close its doors, so after the summer I set up a small ceramic studio of my own. Working in my own time and space has been so liberating!
My stoneware and porcelain pieces are hand-built, then painted with slips and underglazes using generous free wheeling brush strokes and splatters which are not entirely abstract, and often reference my rural origins (fence posts, telegraph poles, water tanks etc). Most pieces are then glazed in a transparent gloss which draws out the colours and contrast.
Sustainability
I see it as priority to educate myself on environmental issues and seek the most sustainable solutions to ceramic practice as possible. I make in small batches and recycle all my clay & glaze waste. I have a small energy efficient kiln, powered by 100% renewable electricity. I also use recycled packaging as much as possible. My ceramic soap dishes are designed as a simple alternative to plastic soap pumps - a way of bringing functional art into the home while simultaneously reducing plastic waste!
