I created stoneware vessels, using a blend of clay making approaches. I mused around the technique of faceting, which was my passion; an action of slicing through firm clay, peeling back the excess to reveal the newly chiseled surface.
Each pot had a different combination of either throwing, hand building or carving. Bringing with them their own physical charm. These explored the juxtaposition of an irregular hand carved shape with a decisive cut or the centred qualities of thrown clay
All of this work was glazed with personally formulated recipes which were chosen for their specific qualities. Focusing on how they sit and move on the geography of the pot. Seeking muted colours and surfaces which were inspired by the natural landscape and coastline. My coherent colour palette had a range of finishes, manoeuvring between matte, gloss and crystalline glazes.
