This latest piece is the result of many years working on the theme of the jug. ( A short hard word for a form that has endless possibilities both functionally and decoratively.)
 I consider that the function of this piece is to be decorative. It has the presence required to command the space that is dedicated to it. 
It is however glazed inside and could be used for instance for wine!


Coil built form using stoneware clay. 
 
The form is painted with multiple layers of  red, back and blue vitreous slips. and using a verity of carving tools the surface is etched to reveal the layers of coloured slips.  

After bisque firing the form is glazed with a transparent glaze and fired to 1200c.

1970 – 1985 workshop experience in England and Holland 1990 I Opened my first workshop in Greece and was accepted as member of the Greek Union of Ceramicists, ( P.E.K.A. ) 2015 Return to the UK where I have set up my workshop in Keighley West Yorkshire. I am now making both decorative and functional ceramics. My preferred method of making my ceramics is by coiling. This gives me the control I need to achieve the results I am aiming for. I also use the potter’s wheel to make parts of a form which can then be modelled and assembled
