Pink Meadow Cup

Description

Handmade using white or terracotta earthenware clay, decorated with coloured engobe slips and oxides and finished using a glossy glaze. For purely decorative pieces areas may be left unglazed and finished with a wax. I work in small batches mixing the colours as I go, therefore sets may vary slightly.

I rolled out a slab of clay, cut out the body and base using a card template and made the form. To decorate i brushed on a pink base with blue flowers and green leaves. I speckled white to inject a bit of movement to the design.

My inspiration came from walking the dogs over the fields, covered with wild flowers.
