After Amphora IV, 2022
These pieces take inspiration from ancient Greek pottery, with a concern for form and decoration. The vases seek to 'talk' about the distinctive ancient storage jars and the intricate decoration that was painted upon them, now explored and enlarged on the coil and slab built forms, creating exciting patterns and shapes with a colourful, lively and painterly approach that gives them a new vibrant lease of life.
handbuilt grogged stoneware body, coil built with slab additions, decorating slips and transparent glaze detailing. (lilac, raspberry and mauve)
