Description

SALE! SECOND! CHOICE OF THREE. The price is for one bowl. These bowls all have chips on their bases of it where a blob of glaze stuck to the kiln shelf! They were already wonky, now they are even wonkier! Some also have big blobby drips of glaze on their bases that make them lean & wobble! The chips only affects the base & I have knocked off half of the value for each. Three were made at the same time using the same very drippy glaze - they all have chipped, blobby bottoms & are all on sale! Please choose which you would like. Some are much larger than others. Sizes: T77 (3" high x 4" wide) this is the smallest - a cute little earthenware pot with one chip (quite big) on its white base T73 (5" wide x 4" tall x 4.5" wide) - a taller, wonky shaped stoneware bowl with a very blobby peach coloured base - it is quite heavy & will cost more to post T72 ( (5" wide x 5" wide x 3" high) - much wider & shallower than the others. The white base has some blobs & a very indistinct chip - just a bit blobby. It will cost more to post due to size. Tossed by the Sea! That's the theme of this collection of ceramic pots & bowls. All hand made, wheel thrown pottery made in my back garden studio. I make small batch pottery. The Tossed by the Sea collection represents the sea tossed flotsam & jetsam found on the beach. All of my work is inspired by either the woodlands where I go foraging or Dorset's Jurassic Coast where my partner owns a house two miles from Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove. My work is imbued with the sea, sky & majesty of the landscape & this collection has a little bit of the rockpool about it - the jewelled gems of stones & beach glass & fossil that is found at the bottom of the pools, if you know where to look, & is different every day. The myriad of colours & textures that you find in the pools on the beach is astounding! I pick up fossils & beach glass as I walk & include a bit here & a bit there in my work, to bring the seaside inside the home & to pass a little bit of Jurassic Coast along to my customers. This collection is all a little bit distorted, a bit misshapen, wonky, as if it has been floating, lightly submerged & tossed by the sea over time. Pulled this way & that, as are the fossil rocks & beach glass that begin as one shape & end up as another, when we find them & bring them into our homes. Each bowl is different from the next; they were all thrown on a potter's wheel, the stretched & pulled & swept while in the drying stage, as the sea would pull & push the forms of the flotsam & jetsam in the water. The colours are invented by me - I mixed & combined different layers of glazes to create new colours, as the sea mixes & mingles the rocks & creatures to become something new. The green (a mixture of two glazes) is the basis of the colours, then I added a variety of blues & other hues & textures - froth for the wave crests & fossil rock crumbled into the mix. Last off all I added a piece or two of beach glass picked up from Charmouth or
