Over the last couple of days, I’ve been playing with different ideas and how I make the forms. Obviously couldn’t resist making a hole through one! #contemporaryceramics #wip

This piece is currently being exhibited @newashgate gallery in Farnham. It stands at 60cm high, and is the largest piece I can Raku fire. Quite a feat in lifting it out of the kiln at 900 degrees centigrade! #contemporaryceramics #nakedraku

Following on from my last two posts, this sculptural piece is almost finished. I’ve remade, carved into and altered the top half so many times until I’m happy with the curves, one of the reasons I like hand coiling so much. #wip #contemporaryceramics

Following on from my last post, this piece is slowly growing. I love steadily hand coiling these sculptures. As they grow, they evolve under my control, I keep an eye on the negative space as well as the flowing curves of the form. #contemporaryceramics #wip

I’ve been wanting to make larger pieces for a while. This is going to be slightly bigger, will probably end up about 60cm high but I don’t want to make it too big for my kiln. #contemporaryceramics #wip
