About The Artwork

Wheel thrown, off-white pitcher/jug, illustrated and sgraffito by hand running black dogs, oak leaves and acorns in black on a creamy white ground (note this is an original piece of work, no transfers, decals etc are used). The jug is finished with an all-over clear glaze, it was fired twice in my kiln to over 1100 degrees centigrade. The material I used was terracotta clay, white slip and coloured underglazes and slips, the glaze is lead-free. It is very much a natural, handmade and rustic piece, ideal for a country cottage setting or dresser. The finish is smooth, though in some areas, a little sgraffito texture may be felt (which adds to the tactile qualities of the piece). One of my great loves is my Black Labrador, Uly, we spend a lot of time in the woods of Kent. I hope some of that joy comes through in this handmade and illustrated piece. Dogs and forests are themes I am always working with, but each piece of pottery is always unique. Ideal for flowers or floral decoration, as a centrepiece or indeed, as a functional water jug.
