I enjoy the craft of completing simple functional tableware. The pieces are hand thrown and decorated with coloured slips before being bisque fired. They are glazed with a clear glaze and refired.
The challenge and excitement is then to arrive at a decorative solution using ceramic decals that contributes to the aesthetic of the piece.
I choose the decals to define colours and forms already suggested and 'play' with the design before committing it to the piece in the final firing.
