All my work is hand-built from porcelain clay slabs constructed as delicate
boxes. Each piece is then hand-decorated using mainly sgraffito (scratching
into the surface) and inlay techniques, and is therefore unique in its design.
The pieces are fired twice in my old re-conditioned front-loading kiln. I
have tried various clay body and glaze combinations, but have settled on a
French porcelain called Limoges, and a transparent glaze which is silky to
the touch, and enhances the cleanness of the lines and form. All the work
is food-safe and waterproof.
I call them ‘Mustard’, ‘Tealight’, ‘Jewellery’ etc., but the uses to which they
can be put are limited only by the imagination!
