Sculpture / Non Functional

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 stunning and unique Sea Globe has beautiful black gloss glazing that flows into a beautiful deep blue. Around the circumference of the globe is an abstract fusion of aventurine and off white glazes. Intentional glaze crazing has been highlighted with off white tones and during the final firing gold detailing has been added to 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).
