Earthenware Sea Globes are fired many times to create complex glazing designs that have been abstractly inspired by the coastline where I live and work.
This earthenware Sea Globe is abstractly inspired the layered rock formations here on the Pembrokeshire coast. Fused layers of black, aventurine and dappled grey glazes create an abstract design across three quarters of the globe. Detailed pockets of gold around the globe complete the piece which has been finished with gold detailing around the rim.
I complete very few Earthenware Sea Globes due to the success rate being low caused by the multiple firings and complex glazing designs. Each piece is unique and designed purely as a sculptural “objet d’art” and is not functional (i.e. should not be used as a vase).
