I create sculptural and vessel forms, hand-built from stoneware clay using traditional coiling and pinch construction methods. The surfaces are applied using layers of vitreous slips, incorporating delicate patterns, which make aesthetic reference to the lace industry. The work alludes to the domestic realm, disrupting the manufactured multiple and returning it to the one-off and hand made. I am interested in the contrasts between mass manufactured objects and the making of one-off hand-built ceramics.
