Movement of the sea
“Inspired by the wonderful colours, textures and ever changing movement of the sea and shoreline on and around the Isle of Mull I’ve been creating some new seascape bowls – in porcelain.”
These are hand thrown and while still on the wheel textured and altered to create whipped up sea, foam and waves. Requiring a degree of precision and care not to destroy them, the bowls are ‘altered’ becoming abstract and reminiscent of sea swirling around a rock pool.
Once successfully bisc fired Teresa glazes the bowls with a range of different glazes and oxides to further enhance their forms.
“Using decorative colours, not reliably food safe, I’ve overlaid them to increase their range and patterns with use of (manganese) oxide to reflect the rocks surrounding the sea.
The use of porcelain has reacted with these particular glazes to create some very rich and unique patterns creating a limited edition of Seascape Rockpool bowls.”
