Multi-coloured Slabbed Pot

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 went wild and slapped on a variety of colours using different methods eg. Sponge, splatter and sgraffitto.

My inspiration was joy and the colours that embody that for me.
