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 painted the background with a couple of blues and dark blue speckle. I then painted the flowers using a fine brush for the detail.
My inspiration was the almond tree and its blossom.
