A few weeks ago, I captured some stunning photographs of lichen that have inspired me to create some new pieces. The technique I have evolved for slab building has completely transformed my approach, leading me to create intricate bone like sculptures.

Over the years, I’ve collected some fabulous skulls from my beachcombing adventures, and now I’m on a quest to achieve that enchanting white, smooth, sea-worn finish. Alongside my explorations with lichen and bones, I’ve been delving into a variety of glazes that reflect the natural beauty of the lichen-landscape on Mull. Each creation is a narrative woven from the elements, celebrating the extraordinary in the ordinary. I can’t wait to unveil these new works that embody my artistic journey and deep love for texture and nature in ceramics.
