Reduction Fired Stoneware, Woodash Glaze, Oxides

2020-22

This ceramic domesticware reflects the landscape it and I come from: windswept grass, chalkhill blues, the trees and stone. With sweeping oxide colouration, these unique glazes are made with the burnt wood of ash trees lost to ash-dieback in the UK.

In extraordinary chance encounters of natural process and mineral, this glassy ash-glaze pooling into rare, bright blue, perhaps offers a farewell from those giants of our landscape, somehow translated here, vitrified in their long journey; held now in our hands and homes.
