Type

Ceramics

Artistic objects made from clay and fired to create pottery, vases, or decorative objects.

Features

Wheel Thrown: A pottery technique where clay is shaped into forms on a rotating potter's wheel, allowing for symmetrical and rounded shapes, often used for creating bowls, vases, and other vessels.
Carved: Removing clay to create decoration or shape in the clay body, often using tools to incise or sculpt the clay, adding depth and dimension to the work.
Lustre: A metallic glaze that gives ceramics a shiny, reflective surface, applied over a fired glaze and then fired again at a lower temperature to fuse the lustre to the surface.
Underglaze: The application of colored decoration to the surface of a piece before it is glazed, allowing for detailed and intricate designs that are sealed and protected by a clear or translucent glaze.
Illustrated line & colour: A ceramic art technique that uses the clay surface as canvas to be illustrated with line and colour techniques. These methods allow for detailed, vibrant designs that make each piece a true work of art.
Hand-Built: This method involves shaping clay without a wheel, using techniques like pinching, coil construction, and slab building, offering more versatility in shapes and textures.
Illustrated: Hand-painting or drawing on the clay surface with underglazes or colored slips before the glazing process, showcasing artistic imagery or motifs.
