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.
For this design I used white clay, I used the slab building method to make it and decorated it using coloured slips, with a glossy glaze to finish. I painted on the design loosely with a brush, layering colours to give a rich and diverse finish. I used underglaze pencil for the detail in the flowers.
My inspiration was the Myrtle tree, it is associated with peace, love and prosperity.
