Sketch Book Development

Some sketches of new bullet shapes. These will be smaller and plentiful, my small army of strangely suggestive pots. I altered these images on hipstamatic to create the layered effect.

New Bits

Close up of my latest pot, this one is smaller around 45 cm high. Not sure I like it. I looks like a penis crossed with a monk's head.

It does remind my a bit of the work of Georgia Okeeffe's paintings. Kind of vaginal. This is not entirely an accident, the body and the female form are reoccurring themes in my work.

Another new small pot, again about 45cm high. This one is like a fish. Especially the opening at the top. I think it will be brightly coloured.

One of my small disc forms. I plan to make lots of these with many different colours. Like a small army.

What can I say about this one. An ice cream? Its strange, I plan to Raku this one which is pretty risky. This kind of shape has been knocking about in my sketch book for some time now. So its about time I ousted it!!

Decadent Gestures

A friend of mine commissioned this one for her boyfriend as an elaborate and decadent birthday gift. It is made up of lots of her nipples for her partner to caress each morning when he has his coffee. That is Love. The fly is an idea for a logo that I have been considering. Any thoughts or feedback would be gratefully received as always.

NIPPLES

I have developed some slip cast porcelain as an extension of my hand built work. I am hoping to sell some of these at the open studio on 11 of December at

Please come along for free wine and nibbles, there will be a raku firing with an opportunity to paint and fire your own pot for £5, and hundreds of beautiful hand made ceramic which would make amazing one of a kind gifts, all starting at around £4.

Slip casting

Above are some of my experiments with slip casting. I studied Ceramic Design at St Martins and going back to this method is like coming full circle after hand building for the past 7 years. However I do consider this to be a commercial side project and my bigger more expensive and time consuming pots are my main thang. I am hoping these two methods will feed into each other and combine in some way. I anticipate that this development will take time as balancing teaching, and MA, and A' Level and the studio is damned tight, but eventually......
