Developed as a response to the shifting seasons and weather and to the moods and emotions that are a causal effect of these, I make my work by coiling large straps of stoneware clay into sculptural vessel forms. Using the finished form as a canvas, I then brush on layers of slip which I colour with varying percentages of oxides, so each piece is unique. An ash glaze is applied for a milky opacity
