My Craft

I want my ceramics to look like they belong to an idealistic holiday vision of a Mediterranean seaside town. I have created small collections of slab-built vases experimenting with both round and boxy shapes. I decorated them with alternating stripes using a combination of normal and liquid glazes, with a limited colour palette that accommodates glazes to blend into interesting new tones. I think the fluid and swirling stripes, plus the melting of the liquid glazes, provide a looser, organic aspect that will contrast the angular and sharp shapes of the vases themselves. I have also made a series of plates. I glazed them with soft subtropical flowers and other Mediterranean motifs to bring the seaside town atmosphere into the decoration.
