A green chun glaze on white clay it is blue chun on the buff. But I like it.
In different light it changes again.
Good functional ware.
Robust and beautiful functional bowls and jugs . . See more of this glaze at our Open studio event . 31st October and 1st November 10am-4pm Tanners Lane, Eynsham OX294HJ
Complimenting my exhibition are Eric White's exquisite original Paintings in Pastel along with prints and cards. Stay a while for a cuppa and cake and to chat and have the time to see our extensive work. All at realistic prices ready for the season ahead. We even do commissions for that bespoke gift.

Yes you may have seen something similar to these before. All made by the 'pinch pot' method and all hollow. I wouldn't want them to BLOW UP in a firing would I?
and of course for the Christmas season there will be snowmen and Robins and possibly some other small characters I will create on a whim. All very affordable as stocking fillers. They take on a life of their own and talk to me as I make them. Wait for my next post All new this year. I have made a spikey Echidna and a Platypus and of course a Kiwi or 2 and then there are my garden birds and B***y, Gull and Puffin ( but I will just have to save them for a future post. -NO ROOM HERE.)

Whole leaves that grow in one season are my inspiration and actual canvas for these dishes and platters.
Comfrey is a favourite with its many textures of veins that imprint so well. Glaze and glass complete the effect.

Of course I had to make a Kiwi platter ! Here it is in all its glory and with impressed leaves on the reverse. 24cm by 18cm
Makes an impactful serving dish at the centre of a table. I use for cheese, a selection of meats or even to serve a pie. When not in use it has interest and impact on display, flat or on a dresser.

Just look at those dimples that embellish the pot and allow the glaze to run and pool.

Something new! I so enjoyed watching the the hares cavorting around the fields this Summer. So many of them at a time and all safe from the dog I had in tow. But gosh they knew we were there with their ears swivelling in our direction and standing up on their hind legs.
Here they are as lids to stoneware storage jars. The glaze I think works well. A crystaline matt glaze. Behaves randomly looking a lot like vertigris or close up like tracings of an old map. Good sized jars and they make a lovely grind and solid 'clonk' as the lid goes on. What do you think?

You can be the first to see these. Visit my open exhibition , The New House Tanners Lane, Eynsham OX29 4HJ . Saturday 31st October and Sunday 1st November 10.00am to 4pm

Whether it be coils, dots or leaves I not only imprint on pots I also make with these shapes. Then splashing a glaze inside, leaves a smooth surface for food and easy cleaning, but also excites the eyes. . . and the outside I leave alone so you can feel and enjoy the texture and the earthiness of the making process.

Would you like to see more? like to find out more? like to have a go at making your own? or maybe buy a piece of my work?

Open exhibition coming soon 31st October and 1st November .
At the Chicken Run Studio Tanners Lane Eynsham OX29 4HJ

Hot weather for digging clay. . But it has been good weather to keep this very dirty clay out of my studio whilst cleaning it getting it into condition to make with it.

Thanks to Raymond Evans and his neighbours for letting me help myself. And look I can throw with it - and to Stoneware! So rustic but durable work. Next job I hope to sculpture with it as the pieces will be able to go permanently outside. It's going to be a fun Creative Summer.
Worth looking through the pictures to see the process and the surprise of the FINISHED BOWLS. WOW!
